Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To prevent a medium to be transfered from being shifted by holding the medium to be transfered to a platen with biassing during a recording head is separated from the platen, and providing a biassing means which releases the biassing when a color medium is transfered to the medium to be transfered. CONSTITUTION:The levers 31, 32 constituting a biassing means are provided rotablly supported on the supporting shafts 31a, 32a at the upper and lower sections of a platen 10. The levers 31, 32 are separated from the platen 10 with themselves are rotated as showed in solid lines when an ink 21 of a thermal transfer ribbon 15 is transfered to a blank P, the blank P is holded on the platen 10 with pressures, with the levers are rotated as showed in a broken line when a thermal head 11 is separated from the platen 10, and the blank P is separated from the thermal transfer ribbon 15 positively.
