The thermal head 3 can be turned up/down by rotating the head supporting member 5. The guide member 15 is a member other than the head supporting member 5. The guide member 15 can be moved up/down to the platen roller by the driving source (not shown) which can operate to rotate the head supporting member 5. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
