Transport device for margin-perforated fanfold paper and for continuous roll paper

摘要

A paper transport mechanism for data printers having powered platens includes a marginal perforation paper transport tractor upstream of the platen and a means for supplying unmargined perforated paper independent of the tractor to the platen, the platen having opposed pinch rollers, and means for adjusting the pinch force of the pinch rollers to accommodate either unperforated platen driven paper or perforated tractor driven paper.
