PURPOSE:To clean a print head by providing a cleaning tape in a cartridge case instead of an ink ribbon and mounting it as it is in a printer. CONSTITUTION:A cartridge case 1 has on its front face a head pocket 4 in which a print head H is to be inserted. A cleaning tape 10 travels in a manner crossing the front face of the opening of the head pocket 4 through a tape reel 2. On the head pocket 4, a pressing member 22 for covering the outer face of the cleaning tape 10 is mounted. The pressing member 22 is constituted of a pair of right-and-left springs 23A, 23B which press the cleaning tape 10 from its outer face against the inside of the head pocket 4. Accordingly, the adhesion of the cleaning tape 10 to the print head H is improved by the pressing work of the right-and-left springs 23A and 23B, so that its contact pressure is stabilized and cleaning effect is improved. |
