In a printer in which a paper is pressed against a platen by a bail roller, the bail roller is automatically released from the platen, during paper loading, so as not to obstruct the paper feeding. The bail roller is pivotally moved between a loading position and a release position by a pivoting unit. The pivotal movement of the bail roller is performed by a paper feed motor so that the drive force of the paper feed motor is transmitted to the pivoting unit via a clutch unit. The connecting and disconnection of the clutch unit is controlled as a printing head carriage is moved to an outer area outside the printing area.
