Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce the number of drive means and to reduce the load of a control circuit by performing the driving of a paper feed means feeding recording paper to a platen roller and the movement of the push-up arm brought into contact with said means under pressure by one drive means. CONSTITUTION:A printing head 52 moves from a retracted position to an advance position and a moving shaft 161 is locked by shaft lock levers 180,180. Subsequently, an arm control slider is moved to a retracted position to upwardly revolve a push-up arm 55 and a printing paper bundle 8 is brought into contact with a paper feed belt 54 under pressure. Next, the paper feed belt 54 is allowed to run in a forward direction to feed printing paper 3 and the leading end of the printing paper 3 is inserted in the paper inserting port 145 of a platen roller 51 and the platen roller 51 is slightly reversed to fix the leading end part of the printing paper 3 by a chuck bar 144 and drive gears 170,171,172 are further forwardly rotated to return the arm control slider to the advance position and the push-up arm 55 is returned to a non-push-up position. Since the head moving means and the pushing-up means are driven by one drive means, the number of motors is reduced by half and the load of a control circuit is reduced.
