PURPOSE:To enable to automatically supply and set a recording paper by only operating a paper-supplying switch, by a construction wherein the pressing of a paper press roller against a platen is selectively released in accordance with a signal from a paper detector. CONSTITUTION:When the paper-supplying switch is operated, the recording paper 49 is fed forward by being clamped between the platen 1 and a paper-feeding roller 43, then the leading end of the paper 49 depresses one end 21 of a paper- detecting lever 2 to thereby cause a detector 3 to output a signal, and a solenoid 50 is energized to move the paper press lever 48 in the direction of an arrow E, while the platen 1 is rotated by a predetermined amount. When the supply of the paper 49 is completed, the lever 48 is reset, and the roller 47 is pressed against the platen 1. Accordingly, by simply dropping the recording paper along a paper guide, all the subsequent operations are conducted automatically, so that operation is easy. |
