A serial printer is described which includes a platen, a printer head, a mechanism for selecting one desired type out of a plurality of types on the printer head, a mechanism for joining a printer head shaft and an output shaft of the type selector, a pusher for pushing the selected type further outward than the adjacent types, a support for supporting the printer head and a striking mechanism connected to the printer head for causing the printer head to strike the platen, thereby enabling printing of the desired type. The printer head includes a shaft and a type wheel which is connected to the shaft. The printer head also has a plurality of resiliently supported types thereon. The selector brings a desired type to a printing position on the printer head, and the support allows the printer head to pivotally move about an axis to strike the platen. |
