Description

The present invention relates to a printing mechanism of a kind of labeling machine, and more particularly, to a printing mechanism that is easy to attach and detach and replace.

As is well known, currently, many product packages are provided with a scanning area provided with a barcode, and after the barcode is read by a scanner, the product code and price can be known. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, bar code display methods are roughly divided into two types. The first type is a method of directly printing on a product package. A bar code is also printed when a pattern is printed on a product package. The second type uses a labeling machine to print a barcode on a label, then affixes the label with the barcode to the product, and the vendor or seller scans the barcode to find out the product code and price. There is a way to do that.

は In the above-mentioned labeling machine, the company prints barcodes with different codes and prices on labels as needed, and affixes them to product packaging. When printing a barcode, the label paper is placed inside the labeling machine, the label paper is sent to the printing mechanism by the transport mechanism inside the labeling machine, the printing mechanism prints the barcode on the label paper, and sends it after the barcode printing is completed. Affixes a label with a barcode to the product.

However, if the printing mechanism inside the labeling machine is used for printing for a long time and the carbon or ink inside the sending unit of the printing mechanism is exhausted, the trader must replace the label unit with a new sending unit (carbon cartridge or ink cartridge).
