Abstract
A tape printing apparatus is provided which has a high flexibility in the combination of half-cutting and full-cutting, and is capable of cutting a tape material as desired. A tape feeding section feeds a tape material in the form of a laminate of a printing tape and a peel-off paper. A printing section prints on the tape material being fed by the tape feeding means. A full-cutting device is arranged at a location downstream of the printing section in a tape-feeding direction, for cutting off the tape material. A half-cutting device is arranged at a location downstream of the printing device, for carrying out half-cutting to cut off one of the printing tape and the peel-off tape of the tape material. A control section individually and separately controls the tape feeding section, the printing section, the full-cutting device, and the half-cutting device.
