PURPOSE:To enable an ink ribbon to be easily fitted and prevent it from slipping off, by providing a ribbon guide capable of being moved relatively to an ink ribbon in the feeding direction of the ribbon which is exposed to the exterior, in an ink ribbon cassette for a printer. CONSTITUTION:After fixing a main body 1a of the ink ribbon cassette to a frame of the printer, the ribbon guide 3 is fixed at a predetermined position of a carriage, and the tip of a wire head is made to front on a window 3e. The ribbon guide 3 has a main body 3a provided with projected parts 3b, 3c having a height larger than the thickness of the ribbon 2, a ribbon mask 3d is fixed to the main body 3a through the projected parts 3b, 3c, and the ribbon 2 is passed through a gap part. The guide 3 is moved relatively to the ribbon 2 as the carriage is moved, and printing is conducted by operating the tip of a wire through windows 3e, 3f. Since the ribbon 2 is passed through a slit in the ribbon guide 3, it can not slip off. |
