The
The film FL before printing is supplied from the film supply means 200 by the rotation of the film supply means 200 and moves along the outer periphery of the
That is, each of the film feeding means 200 and the film winding means 300 preferably has a roll shape in which a film can be wound around the central axis and rotated by driving the motor about the central axis . However, it is more preferable that the motors for rotating the film feeding means 200 and the film winding means 300 are separately provided and controlled.
The display means 500 is preferably arranged around the film winding means 300 and by illuminating the printed film FL with a lighting device in the interior thereof, 500 to facilitate the user to confirm the state of the printed film FL.
The film FL is supplied from the film supply means 200 to move the film FL to a certain region of the outer periphery of the
The film FL is supplied from the film supply means 200 to move the film FL to a predetermined region of the
The ink ribbon and head mounting means 400 is a combination of the ink ribbon mounting means 410 and the head mounting means 420.
