as it passes through the printer and is guided over a roller that transports the label strip through the printer said strip must be released from the roller to be issued at the exit of the printer according to the invention instead of the provision of conventional scraper elements downstream of the roller the label strip is embossed which counteracts the tendency of the label strip to become wound around the roller thus enabling the label strip to be detached from the roller in a reliable manner application_number US 36380103 A description the embodiment shown in fig1 has a base plate 1 on which all the components of the device are mounted a strip shaped medium to be printed is wound up to form a supply roll 2 which is supported on the base plate 1 so that it is free to rotate the medium consists of for example thermal printing paper which has a surface 4 with a self adhesive coating and an opposite surface 3 which is the surface to be printed according to the state of the art media of this type are known as u201c linerless label material u201d or u201c linerless label web u201d the supply roll 2 is wound so that the surface 4 with the self adhesive coating faces the center of the supply roll 2 a certain distance away from the supply roll 2 and coaxial to it a deflection roller 5 is supported on the base plate 1 with the freedom to rotate coaxial to the deflection roller 5 and set back with respect to it in the direction toward the supply roll 2 is an impressing cylinder 7 which.
