  • Patent number: 10112736
    Abstract: A winding device includes a first roller that winds label roll paper that is composed with a continues base sheet, a plurality of labels and a marginal portion, a second roller that winds the marginal portion peeled off the label roll paper, a drive part that generates a driving force for the second roller to rotate, a drive transmission control part that is provided between the drive part and the second roller such that the driving force is transmitted to the second roller from the driving part, and stops transmitting the driving force to the second roller if a load placed on the second roller exceeds a prescribed load, a detection part that detects a rotation of the second roller, and a control part that determines a cutoff of the marginal portion based on the rotation of the second roller detected by the detection part.

  • Patent number: 10065822
    Abstract: A medium winding device for winding a continuous medium ejected from an image forming device includes a winding member that is rotatably arranged around which the medium is wound, an actuator that rotates the winding member to wind the medium on the winding member in a rolled state, a tension generation member that applies a tension to the medium being carried to the winding member, a roll diameter obtaining unit that obtains a roll diameter of the medium in the rolled state, wherein the roll diameter changes depending on an amount of the medium wound on the winding member, and a tension adjustment unit that adjusts the tension of the medium applied by the tension generation member depending on the roll diameter obtained by the roll diameter obtaining unit.
