The check writer for imprinting checks is comprised of a frame having a printing line, a plurality of type segment members supported by the frame, with each segment member having a set of offset printing characters thereon on the segment member facing and being moveable to locate the desired printing characters on the printing line, and a prefix holder assembly supported by the frame and structurally arranged to receive and position a sliding prefix plate adjacent to the printing characters on the printing line. The width and length dimensions of each printing face on each type segment is substantially identical. Additionally, the check writer includes an inked ribbon and ribbon support member supporting the ribbon adjacent to the printing characters disposed on the printing line, a platen supported by the frame, and an actuating mechanism supported by the frame and movable from a normal non-printing position to an activated printing position for effecting the printing operation. Also, a linkage member is provided and operatively coupled to the actuating mechanism. The linkage member is structurally arranged and coupled to the platen for moving the platen into pressure contact with the negotiable instrument positioned between the platen and the printing characters disposed on the printing line to provide an imprint on the check and for returning the platen and prefix plate back to their normal at rest position upon the return movement of the actuating mechanism to its normal at rest position.
