A printer includes a print head for printing from a donor medium to a receiver medium, a platen member for holding the donor medium in a printing relation with the receiver medium at said print head, a pair of steering and drive rollers for feeding the receiver medium from between the steering and drive rollers, and a movable support for the platen member and the steering roller that moves the platen member towards the print head to hold the receiver medium in the printing relation with the donor medium and away from the print head to release the receiver medium from the printing relation with the donor medium and that moves the steering roller to vary a feeding angle at which the receiver medium is fed from between the steering and driver rollers. The support is movable to three positions, a print position in which the platen member is moved towards the print head to hold the receiver medium in the printing relation with the donor medium and the steering roller is moved to change the feeding angle to one for advancing the receiver medium, a feed-only position in which the platen member is moved away from the print head to release the receiver medium from the printing relation with the donor medium and the steering roller is moved to change the feeding angle to one for returning the receiver medium, and an exit position in which the platen member is moved away from the print head farther than in the feed-only position and the steering roller is moved to change the feeding angle to one for exiting the receiver medium.
