<p>A wire-dot printing head (1) having a plurality of printing elements each including an armature (3) fixedly holding a printing wire (4) on the free end thereof, a plate spring (2) fixedly holding the armature on the free end thereof, a permanent magnet (5) for attracting the armature (3) to strain the plate spring (2) so that strain energy is stored in the plate spring, and an electromagnet (6) which cancels the magnetism of the permanent magnet (5) when energized to release the armature (3) so that the armature is returned to the free position thereof by the strain energy of the plate spring (2) to advance the printing wire for printing. The plate spring (2) has an operating lug portion (28) which can be bent in either direction from outside, and an adjusting lug portion (29) which is formed integrally with the operating lug portion (28) and is moved in the opposite direction when the operating lug portion (29) is moved in one direction to adjust the position of the base end of the armature so that the strain energy stored in the plate spring is varied.</p>
