LABEL PRODUCTION APPARATUS AND LABEL PRODUCTION METHOD
First Claim
1. A label production apparatus comprising:
- a printing unit configured to print, using image data for generation of a label image, a plurality of the label images on a print target medium;
a test unit configured to test each of the label images printed on the print target medium; and
a controller for controlling the printing unit and the test unit,wherein the controller adds a mark including identification information of each label image to the image data so as to make the printing unit print the label image as well as the mark corresponding to the label image, and generates linkage data in which related are a test result of the label image by the test unit and the identification information of the label image to each other.

Abstract
A label production apparatus includes: a printing unit configured to print, using image data for generation of a label image, a plurality of label images on a print target medium; a test unit configured to test each of the label images printed on the print target medium; and a controller for controlling the printing unit and the test unit. In the stated label production apparatus, the controller adds a mark including identification information of each label image to the image data so as to make the printing unit print the label image as well as the mark corresponding to the label image, and generates linkage data in which related are a test result of the label image by the test unit and the identification information of the label image to each other.

4. A label production apparatus comprising:
-
a post-process unit configured to cut, of a print target material including a first base material having a print surface, a second base material, and an adhesive layer interposed between the first and second base materials, a portion of the first base material where a label image is printed, wherein a plurality of the label images are printed on the print target medium while a mark including identification information of each label image is added to each of the label images and printed together with the label image; and the post-process unit, based on linkage data in which a test result of each of the label images and the identification information of each of the label images are related to each other, cuts a portion of the first base material where the label image is printed without any print defect that has been detected whereas does not cut a portion of the first base material where the label image is printed with a print defect that has been detected. - View Dependent Claims (5)

6. A label production method comprising:
-
printing a plurality of label images on a print target medium, using image data for generation of the label image, and adding a mark including identification information of each of the label images to each of the label images while relating each mark to each of the label images so as to print the label image with the mark being added; testing each of the label images printed on the print target medium; and generating linkage data in which related are a test result of each of the label images by the testing and the identification information of each of the label images.
