Abstract
A mobile, handheld and hand-propelled labeling printer is disclosed for use in printing label data on a storage object. The label data may include a description of the preservation item, the data and time that the preservation item was collected, the location from which it was collected, an identification of the person who collected the item, an identification number, and other data. The label data may be printed as text or code. The labeling printer receives image data of the label data. A user moves the labeling printer on a storage object for printing the label data while a position module provides absolute position data so that the label data is accurately printed. Complete consistency between stored label data and printed label is achieved because the image data is based on label data obtained from the stored label data.
