Claims (6)

1. A conveyor roller that transports a label sheet with labels attached to a backing paper, A recording means for recording on the label sheet being conveyed by the conveyor roller, A cutter for cutting the label sheet recorded by the recording means, the cutter being capable of cutting the stationary label sheet by moving it in the width direction of the label sheet, A sheet guide that directs the label sheet being transported by the transport roller toward the position to be cut by the cutter, A pressing means capable of holding the label sheet between itself and the sheet guide, A friction sheet is provided on at least one of the portions of the pressing means that contact the label sheet when the label sheet is clamped, and the portion of the sheet guide that contacts the label sheet when the label sheet is clamped, wherein the static friction coefficient with a predetermined glassine paper is greater than 1. A recording device characterized by comprising the following features.
2. The sheet guide has a plurality of ribs aligned in a predetermined conveying direction, and the plurality of ribs are arranged at intervals. The recording device according to claim 1, wherein the friction sheet is arranged between the two ribs, and the thickness of the friction sheet is such that the friction sheet does not protrude above the upper surface of the ribs.
3. The recording device according to claim 1, characterized in that the friction sheet is provided on the portion of the pressing means that contacts the label sheet.
4. The recording device according to claim 2, characterized in that the friction sheet is provided on the portion of the pressing means that contacts the label sheet.
5. The recording device according to claim 1, characterized in that the pressing means moves from a position that does not contact the label sheet to a position that contacts the label sheet in accordance with the movement of the cutter.
6. The recording device according to claim 1, characterized in that the pressing means contacts the label sheet in the width direction of the label sheet on the side where the cutter first makes contact with the label sheet rather than the center of the label sheet.

Description

This invention relates to a recording device equipped with a cutter for cutting continuous sheets. As a type of output device for computers and workstations, inkjet recording devices, which eject ink to form images on recording media such as recording paper, and thermal transfer recording devices, which use heat to transfer ink from an ink ribbon to a recording medium to form images, are well known. As shown in Patent Document 1, some of these recording devices use continuous sheets as recording media, and some are equipped with a cutter for cutting the continuous sheets after recording. Furthermore, in these recording devices, labels attached at regular intervals on a continuous backing sheet may be used as recording media. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-75011 This is an explanatory diagram for the label sheet.This is a perspective view of the external appearance of the recording device according to the present invention.This is a diagram showing the internal structure of the recording device.This is a magnified view of the area around the cutter unit.This is a perspective view showing the cutter unit and the sheet pressing unit.This diagram shows the seat retainer in the retracted position.This is a perspective view with the seat retainer in the retracted position.This diagram shows the sheet holder in the pressing position.This is a perspective view when the sheet holder is in the holding position.This diagram illustrates the movement of the label sheet during cutting. The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. <Overall configuration of the recording device> Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the recording device 100 of this embodiment. The user operates the recording device 1 while standing on the +Y side. From the perspective of a user standing facing the front of the recording device 100, the front side of the recording device 100 is in the +Y direction, the back side is in the -Y direction, the right side is in the +X direction, and the left side is in the -X direction. The left and right directions are along the X-axis, and the front and back directions are along the Y-axis. The upward direction of the device is in the +Z direction, and the downward direction is in the -Z direction. The recording device 100 has an operation panel 101 attached to its exterior for user operation. By operating the operation panel 101, the user can set printing conditions, control the transport and reverse transport of the label sheets 200S, and issue instructions to cut the label sheets 200S with a cutter. The operation panel 101 is positioned so that the user can operate it while standing in front of the recording device 100. The recording device 100 records data onto a label sheet, which is a long sheet with labels attached at regular intervals, using an inkjet method. In the recording device 100, the roll sheet 200, in which the label sheets are wound into a roll, is mounted inside the roll holder 102 located at the top of the recording device 1. The user attaches and detaches the roll sheet 200 from the front of the recording device 100. <Internal structure of the recording device> Figure 3 shows the internal structure of the recording device 1. The carriage 311 holds the recording head, which serves as the recording means, and is reciprocally movable in the scanning direction along the shaft 312. The scanning direction is parallel to the X-axis. The carriage 311 is moved by a motor (not shown). The sheet guide 313 guides the label sheet 200S, which is being transported by the transport roller 316, to the position where it will be cut by the cutter unit 320. The sheet guide 313 contacts the back surface of the label sheet 200S, i.e., the surface opposite to the surface where the information is recorded. The sheet guide 313 is provided with ribs 314 along the transport direction of the label sheet 200S. Multiple ribs 314 are provided at intervals. The direction in which the ribs 314 extend only needs to include the transport direction component of the label sheet 200S. The ribs 314 extending along the transport direction of the label sheet 200S may be interrupted by slits or other means. The cutter unit 320 is movable along the X-axis direction by a motor (not shown). The cutter unit 320 cuts the label sheet 200S while moving in the -X direction. The recording method in this embodiment is a serial scan method. First, the label sheet 200S is transported in the +Y direction by the transport roller 316 to a predetermined recording start position on the sheet guide 313. Then, the transport of the label sheet 200S in the +Y direction and the scanning of the carriage 311 along the X-axis direction are performed alternately to sequentially record images on the label sheet 200S. Once recording is complete, the cutter unit 320 cuts the label sheet 200S with the recorded images. The area scanned and recorded by the carriage 311 has a platen (not shown). The plate
