1. A label printing system, comprising:
- a housing having a window;
a printer disposed within said housing;
a scanner disposed within said housing and comprising an optical sensing element adapted to receive light transmitted through said window, said optical sensing element generating image data corresponding to a coded symbol of an original label brought into proximity with said window; and
a processor coupled to said printer and said scanner, said processor receiving said image data generated by said optical sensing element and commanding operation of said printer to print at least one replacement label in response to said image data, said at least one replacement label having a same label format as that of said original label.

Abstract
A label printing device comprises a housing having a printer and a scanner disposed therein. The housing further includes a window permitting light to transmit therethrough to an optical sensing element of the scanner. The optical sensing element generates image data representative of a previously printed label brought into proximity with the window. A central processor controls the functions of the printer and the scanner. The central processor receives the image data generated by the optical sensing element and commands operation of the printer to print a label corresponding to the previously printed label.
