Abstract: The invention relates to a printer (1) for printing labels (10) detachably affixed to a carrier strip (5a, 5b, 5c), in particular goods labels, with a label feed unit (12a, 12b, 12c) comprising a wiping head (6a, 6b, 6c) with a support surface by which the label to be printed is supported, as well as a printing device (13) with a print head (8) for printing the label supported by the support surface, as well as with means (9) for conveying the label which has been separated from the carrier strip and printed, away to the goods. To be able to use different label styles with a single printer and a single printing device, it is provided that at least two separate label feed units (12a, 12b) are allocated to the printer (1), with the support surfaces, of which there are at least two, on the one hand, and the print head (8) on the other hand being movable relative to each other in such a way that one of the support surfaces is in the print position.
