CONSTITUTION:A narrow range and a wide range notch parts 11a, 11b are formed to a carriage 9 and a drive element 12 driven by a wire 13 is provided in the notch part 11. The carriage 9 is moved along with the drive element 12 which is, in turn, interposed between the narrow range notch part 11a and a guide surface 1b and a thermal head 10 is pressed toward a platen 2. An escape part 1c for smoothly guiding the drive element 12 into the narrow range notch part is provided to the guide surface 1b. |
