Print sheet feed mechanism suitable for use in serial printers.

摘要

Print sheet feeding mechanism for serial printers capable of printing without producing any dead space in the sheet feed direction. The sheet feeding mechanism comprises a platen (41) for receiving the bias force from a print head (47), first (42) and second (43) guide plates arranged at both sides of the platen (41) in such a manner as to be substantially coplanar with a print region of the platen, first and second sheet feed rollers (44;45) arranged outside the first and second guide plates,(42;43) and a sheet guide member (50) which moves together with the print sheet and at least whose portion (60) confronting the platen (41) is elastically biased on the platen (41) at all times. <IMAGE>
