Abstract: A medium cutting device includes first and second conveying sections and a cutting section. The first conveying section conveys a continuous medium having a perforation that extends in a first direction. The first conveying section conveys the continuous medium in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The second conveying section is spaced from the first conveying section in the second direction, and conveys the continuous medium in the second direction. The cutting section includes a pressing member and a supporting member. The pressing member is movable in the first direction in a gap between the first and second conveying sections. The supporting member movably supports the pressing member in the second direction. The cutting section causes the pressing member to press the continuous medium while causing the pressing member to move in the first direction, thereby cutting the continuous medium at the perforation.

Abstract: A conveying apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a feeding-out member movable along a shaft member extending in a first direction and rotatable in a medium conveyance direction; a conveyance member configured to convey the medium from the feeding-out member along a medium conveyance route; a load applying member that applies a load in a direction opposed to the medium conveyance direction; a guide member placed at one end portion of the medium conveyance route in the first direction, and configured to restrict movement of the medium in the first direction; and an inclination member inclined with respect to the first direction and in contact with the medium between the feeding-out member and the conveyance member in the medium conveyance route, thereby making a conveyed distance of the medium shorter at a first side near the guide member than at a second side far from the guide member.

Abstract: A medium transporting apparatus is used for transporting a label web including a carrier web and labels adhered thereto. A platen roller transports the label web in a transport path. A pressure roller is disposed downstream of the separating member with respect to the transport path, and causes the carrier web to be kinked. The pressure roller urges the carrier web against the platen roller. A support member is mounted on a cover and rotatably supports the pressure roller. The cover is pivoted between an open position and a closed. Immediately after the cover has moved to the closed position, the pressure roller contacts the platen roller and then slides by a predetermined amount on the circumferential surface of the platen roller in a direction away from the separating member. Thus, the carrier web sandwiched between the pressure and platen rollers becomes taut.
