Platen locking mechanism for thermal transfer recording apparatus.

摘要

A thermal transfer recording apparatus wherein printing on record paper (3) is performed with the record paper fixed on a platen roller (1) is constituted such that, when the record paper (3) is to be fixed, transmission of power to the platen roller (1) is interrupted and the platen roller (1) is fixedly held at a predetermined position, which enables realization of a transporting system for a transport system of a thermal transfer recording apparatus of the record paper (3) fixing type which system includes a single motor (9) therein. <IMAGE>
