<p>A shuttle-type printer includes a media feed assembly (18) to controllably transfer a recording media through a printing station and a carriage (34) operably mounted at the printing station to move bidirectionally across the media. The printer further includes means mechanically connected to the carriage and media feed assembly for simultaneously (a) moving the carriage and (b) indexing the media through the printing station, whereby the means includes a single motor (44). Accordingly, a single drive motor can accomplish both carriage motion and media advancement. <IMAGE></p> |
