Printer

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To alter a kind of a printer which prints and a kind of a printer which does not print by selectively mounting the first platen and a box into which a paper insertion detecting mechanism, a paper insertion positioning mechanism and a paper feed mechanism are incorporated to the printer proper. CONSTITUTION: When a driving shaft 2 is turned by driving motor 10, a carrier frame 1 moves along platens 28, 29, and printing instructions are given to a printing head 21 during that time and characters are printed. Reset pulses are generated because a chip 14 interrupts an optical axis of a photo-coupler 13 by the movement of the carrier frame 1, thus stopping the motor 10. Operation instructions, such as paper feed signals, signals turning the printing head 21 toward the second platen 29, signals inverting the motor 10 for moving the carrier frame 1 in the opposite direction, etc. are emitted at the same time.
