Abstract (en)

[origin: US6977668B2] To improve a printing apparatus for printing an information carrier on a carrier tape, comprising a printing head, a first transport device by means of which the carrier tape is guidable past the printing head, and a second transport device by means of which a transfer tape is guidable past the printing head and which upon activation by the printing head causes an information carrier to be printed, with the contact pressure of the printing head on the transfer tape and on the carrier tape and the transfer tape feed by the second transport device being controllable in such a manner that the carrier tape is guidable past the printing head with a difference in speed relative to the transfer tape, such that this is of space-saving design and operates effectively, provision is made for the printing head to be pneumatically liftable away from the transfer tape.
