Abstract
A multiple format hand held label printer includes a processor, a memory, a keyboard, a thermal printer and an advance mechanism for a tape of successive labels carried on a substrate. The processor reads operator keyboard inputs and formats both machine readable bar code data and alphanumeric data for the printer. The printer is actuated to imprint such information on successive adhesive backed labels. In addition, the processor stores label print information and sequentially changes print indicia to meet particular requirements. The processor communicates with a system processor for coordinated inventory control, market study or other functions.
