Description

Auxiliary tape box Technical Field The present disclosure relates to auxiliary cartridges. Background In a printing apparatus that prints on a printing tape, the replacement and supply of the printing tape are performed by attaching and detaching a cartridge that houses the printing tape to and from a printing apparatus main body. In such a cartridge, an ink ribbon and a printing tape are housed in 1 casing (see patent document 1). Prior art literature Patent literature Patent document 1 Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2010-234772 Disclosure of Invention Problems to be solved by the invention In the above-described cartridge, the ink ribbon and the printing tape are set, and therefore, the combination of the color of the ink and the kind of the printing tape (for example, color, size, material, etc.) is defined by the kind of the prepared cartridge. An object of an aspect of the present disclosure is to provide an auxiliary cassette capable of arbitrarily combining an auxiliary tape and a printing tape. Means for solving the problems An aspect of the present disclosure is an auxiliary tape cassette including an auxiliary tape for printing of a printing tape, a gear that transmits a driving force from outside, and a housing that accommodates at least a part of the auxiliary tape and at least a part of the gear. The housing has a discharge port for discharging the printing tape to the outside and a guide portion for guiding the printing tape supplied from the outside of the housing toward the discharge port. According to this configuration, since the printing tape supplied from the outside can be guided to the discharge port by the guide portion, an arbitrary printing tape can be supplied into the housing. As a result, the auxiliary tape and the printing tape can be arbitrarily combined. In addition, by providing a case that accommodates the auxiliary belt and the gear, the positioning accuracy of the gear with respect to the printing apparatus main body can be improved.
