CONSTITUTION: Platen 2 for unit document 1 is fitted at the tip of bar 6 which can rotate about supporting shaft 5. On the other hand, platen 4 for continuous document 3, together with transport mechanism 7, is fitted to supporting shaft 10 so as to be able to rotate about it. When handle 12 is pulled in the direction of B. continuous printing platen 4 is set at the type position, and unit printing platen 2 is removed from the type position marked by a solid line, and the switching from unit document to continuous document is completed.
