PURPOSE: To reduce in size a printer which can be assembled in other equipment by arranging a print board having a printing mechanism and a controller serially provided along a conveying passage for linearly conveying a print sheet. CONSTITUTION: A print sheet 1 is inserted from a sheet supply and discharge port 18, set, input by sheet grip roller pair 17 rotatably driven by a sheet scanning motor 26, and fed rightward along a sheet guide plate 30. When the end of the sheet 1 is detected by a sheet end sensor 33, the sheet 1 is further fed rightward by n steps of the predetermined number of steps and stopped. Thereafter, a platen roller 16 is fluctuated by a platen release motor 27, and brought into pressure contact with a thermal head 11 via the sheet 1 and an ink sheet 12. Then, the head 11 is energized while moving the sheet 1 leftward, and transferred to the sheet 1 by the sheet 12. |
