Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To prevent a printing position from being staggered, by a construction wherein a support member for both ends of a feeding member brought into contact with and separated from a platen is constituted of a pair of split pieces, and both end parts of the feeding member are supported independently from each other, in a thermal transfer type color printer. CONSTITUTION:Both end parts of a pinch roller 7a are independently supported by a pair of links 25a, 25b. For example, even when the pinch roller 7a is fitted skewly against the platen 5, the roller 7a can be pressed against the platen 5 uniformly over the entire surface by independently moving the end parts of the roller 7a. Accordingly, a paper clamped between and fed by the platen 5 and the pinch roller 7a is fed by the same distance on both left and right sides, so that skewing of the paper does not occur even when the paper is fed forward and reversely for multi-color printing, and the printing position is securely prevented from being staggered in overlap printing.
