• the rigidity of the label to be used is weak or the gluing degree is strong, the label cannot be sufficiently separated from the backing sheet even if the backing sheet turns, and the turning pin 32 and the label temporary receiving section 30 will not be separated.

If 35 is fixed, the gap between the deflecting pin 32 and the label temporary receiving portion 30d becomes the narrowest, and it can be said that the microswitch 35 pushes the pin support member 33. Since it is relatively pressed by the member 33, the output of the board looseness detection circuit 50 is fixed in the same manner as the state where the board tension is detected.

Label does not wrap around deflecting pin 32 Then, the vehicle rides on the temporary label receiving section 30d, proceeds under the sticking roller 23, and stops driving when the circuit 60 detects the presence of the label.
• the DC motor 21 is driven while the label presence detection circuit 60 detects that a label is present (during separation of the label from the mount) because the backing detection circuit 50 does not work effectively. Since the label does not assist the separation of the label in a circuit, if the label is not long enough, the label can be separated from the mount immediately, so that the sticking operation can be performed without any problem.
