Abstract:
1. A label producing device comprising: a feeding device that feeds a label tape in a tape-length direction, said label tape including: a print-receiving medium layer, an affixing adhesive layer for affixing said print-receiving medium layer onto a target affixing object, and a separation layer that covers said affixing adhesive layer; a printing device that prints content on a first print area provided in said print-receiving medium layer; a half-cutting device that cuts layers of said label tape, other than said separation layer, in a tape-width direction, to form two half-cutting parts; said two half-cutting parts including opposing first and second half-cutting parts respectively located on opposing first and second tape-length end sides with respect to said first print area; a cutting device that forms a cutting part, whereby said label tape is cut in the tape-width direction, on sides further toward both tape-length end sides with respect to said two half-cutting parts; a detection device that detects a detection identifier that is located on said first of said tape-length end sides, opposite to said first print area of said print-receiving receiving medium layer, across said first of said two half-cutting parts; and a transmitting/receiving device that performs transmission/reception of information to/from an RFID circuit element in a non-contact manner, said RFID circuit element being included in said label tape and having an IC circuit part for storing information and an antenna for performing transmission/reception of information; wherein a distance Lo between said detection device and said printing device along a feed path due to said feeding device is shorter than a distance L in said label tape between a front end portion of said RFID circuit element in the feed direction and said detection identifier.
