Abstract A thermal price tag printer, in which price tags are fed between a platen (35) and thermal head (34) and printing of the price tags is carried out, is provided with a thermal head support structure for thermal price tag printers characterized by having: a support member (62) for the thermal head comprising a thermal head attachment member (63) to which the thermal head is attached and a thermal head press member (64) used to press the thermal head in the direction of the platen (35); a fixed spindle (65) for rotation which rotatably supports the support member (62) of the thermal head; and an oscillating support pivot member which supports the thermal head attachment member in such a way that it is able to oscillate in a plane parallel to the axial direction of the platen.
