Abstract: The present invention relates to a printer of the type which comprises a printing mechanism (22, 30) adapted to perform printing operations on a print medium being feed through the printer, and a print medium feed drive (40, 41, 42, 44) adapted to drive a print medium feeding mechanism for feeding a print medium through the printer.According to the invention the printer is characterised in that the printer does not include a print medium feeding mechanism but is adapted to be associated with a removable print medium feeding mechanism (50) which will engage with and be driven by the print medium feed drive (40, 41, 42, 44) in the printer.The present invention also relates to a print medium feeding mechanism (50) of the type which comprises means (59, 60, 62, 64) for feeding a print medium and which is adapted to be driven by a print medium feed drive.According to the invention the print medium feeding mechanism is characterised by being adapted to be associated with a printer as above so that it engages with and is driven by the print medium feed drive in the printer and can feed a print medium through the printer.

Abstract: Endless Forms Feed Tractor Belt and Method of Making A forms feed tractor belt includes drive members molded around a thin, flexible band at longitudinal intervals. To make the belt, slots are first punched at longitudinal intervals in at least one side of the flexible band. Drive members are then molded around the band at the slots except for at least one drive memberless interval at each end of the band. The ends of the band are overlapped so that the slots of the drive memberless intervals coincide. Final drive members are then molded around the slots of each pair of coincided drive memberless intervals to complete the endless tractor belt.
