Abstract: Print data adaptation means (67) include data conversion means (37) which are adapted to convert the received scan data (SD1) into printable print data (PD2) in accordance with first conversion information (CI1), which print data (PD2) can be printed by thermal printing means (44) set to a first print mode, and which conversion means (37) are adapted to convert received scan data (SD1) into printable print data (PD2) in accordance with second conversion information (CI2), which print data (PD2) can be printed by the thermal printing means (44) set to a second print mode, the printing row feed (RD1) of the thermal printing means (44) in the first print mode of the thermal printing means (44) corresponding substantially to the printing dot size (DP) and the printing row feed of the thermal printing means (44) in the second print mode of the thermal printing means (44) being smaller than the printing dot size (DP).

Abstract: In a thermo-tape unit (1) having a supply reel hub (2) and a supply roll (5) of thermo-tape (6) wound on the supply reel hub (2), the thermo-tape has at least one marking stripe configuration (14) at least in its leading area (8), which configuration comprises at least one marking stripe section (15, 16, 17) having a given section dimension (L1, L2, L3) in the longitudinal direction (L) of the thermo-tape (6), and at least one characteristic of the thermo-tape unit (1) is encoded by means of this section dimension (L1, L2, L3) of the marking stripe section (15, 16, 17).
