Inkjet printer

In a printer, a bottom of an automatic paper feeder is formed by a bottom itself of a printer case; an operation lever is provided for operating a hopper and separation pawls arranged in a stacker section; a spring member is used as a changeover mechanism for a paper feed-in roller; an ink shielding portion is provided over an entire print area; the paper is discharged while forcibly urging the paper in a concave shape in which its printed surface is concaved; and a changeover is effected between a paper feeding operation and a pumping operation by a carriage at both ends of a carriage-moving area.

Printer sheet discharge method

An actuation mechanism for a lever including a spring member supported by the lever and frame of the printer and an actuation portion for rotating the lever by pressing and displacing an intermediate portion of the spring member. The printer may include a feed-in roller for feeding sheets of paper, a carriage for printing the sheet fed by the feed-in roller, a feed-in gear for rotating the feed-in roller, a movable gear rotatably supported by a rotatable lever and capable of assuming a first position in which the movable gear meshes with the feed-in gear to rotate the feed-in gear and a second position in which the movable gear does not mesh with the feed-in gear, and an actuation mechanism.

Computer printer

Printer for computer

A printer for use with both monochrome and color ink ribbon cartridges has a cartridge holder which is rotatable to correctly position the ink ribbon of whichever cartridge is put in place in front of the print head. The cartridge holder and a transmission for driving it are mounted on a carriage which is movable in front of a platen. A driving motor for powering the transmission is placed on the carriage to convert the printer from monochrome so as to be able to use with either a monochrome or a color ink ribbon cartridge and a switch having two sets of contacts in a single circuit responds to the presence of a color ink ribbon cartridge to position the color ribbon in front of the printer at a color home position.
