The control device 270 has an input interface 274, a CP.
It includes a U 272, an output interface 276, a ROM 278 in which operation programs and the like are written, and a RAM 280. The CPU 272 includes a first label detector 216, a second label detector 246, a pulse generator 266, and a pulse generator 26 via the input interface 274.
8, first passage detecting means 274, second passage detecting means 2
76 is connected. Further, the CPU 272 has a ROM 278 and a RAM 280 in which operation programs are written.
Is connected.

Then, the output of the CPU 272 is output via the output interface 276 to the first label transfer means 210 and the second label transfer means 230 which are label transfer devices, the cutter 226, and the thermal head 2 which is a printing device.
42 (printer) is connected.

In step S1, the conveyor belt 252
The adherend A is placed on the top by the operator, and the conveyance is started. The transfer of the adherend A is continued at a constant speed until the work is completed.

In step S2, the CPU determines whether the adherend A has passed through the first passage detecting means 274.

In step 3, the CPU 272 outputs the first control signal for starting the transfer of the label continuum 10.
Is sent to the label transfer means 210. Based on this control signal, the first label transfer means 210 transfers the label continuum A.

In step 4, the first label detector 21
Based on the electrical signal of 6, the control signal for starting the cutting of the label continuum 10 by the CPU 272 is the cutter 2
Issued on 26. And the cutter 2 based on this control signal
By the operation of 26, the label continuum 10 delivered by the first label transfer means 210 is cut into label strips 10a having an appropriate width.

On the other hand, in step 5, the control signal is issued by the CPU 272 so that the adherend A can be weighed by the electronic scale 260.

In steps 6 and 7, the electronic scale 260 measures the adherend A based on the control signal, and the measured data of the adherend A is fed back. Then, the print data based on the data of the adherend A is appropriately printed on the label strip 10a by the thermal head 242.

In steps 8 and 9, the adherend A is placed downstream of the adherend transfer means 250 in synchronization with the printing on the label.
The second passage detecting means 27 detects the passage of the adherend A while being sent to the label attaching position by the
Based on the electric signal of 6, the label 12 is transferred to the second label transfer means 23 in synchronization with the transfer operation of the adherend transfer means 250.
0 is sent to the label sticking position.

The label strip 10a is transferred, and the CPU 272 determines whether or not the label strip 10a to be attached has been detected by the second label detecting means 276. When the label strip 10a is detected, the process proceeds to the next step S10. In step S10, at this time,
A control signal for controlling the transfer of the label is sent to the second label transfer means 230, and a control signal for controlling the transfer of the adherend A is downstream of the adherend transfer means 2.
The leading end of the label strip 10a sent to the label sticking position 50 and fed to the label sticking position is initially adhered to the surface of the adherend A. Then, as the adherend A is transferred, the entire surface of the label strip 10a is adhered to the surface of the adherend A.
