PURPOSE:To reduce the friction load of a movable part and to provide the titled printer increased in a speed and reduced in power consumption, by constituting said printer so that the total length of a wire is present on one straight line vertical to the surface of paper at any point of time when a wire stands by and operates. CONSTITUTION:When a current is supplied to a coil 5, a coil core 3 attracts the opposed plunger 6 and a fixed clapper 7 is revolved and the wire 9 engaged with the clapper 7 at the leading end thereof is protruded. At this time, a wire is moved linearily and receives no load from a wire guide 11. At the time of stand-by, the leading end surface of the wire is present inside the leading end surface of the wire guide 11 and at least a part of an ink meniscus is present forwardly from the leading end surface of the wire. Therefore, when the wire is protruded, ink is adhered to the leading end surface of the wire to be transferred to recording paper. Because the total length of the wire is present on a predetermined straight line vertical to the surface of the recording paper at any point of time, friction load at the time of operation is reduced and a speed is increased and power consumption is reduced. |
