Abstract
An impact printer is provided with an easy load print wheel mechanism. A print wheel cartridge containing a print wheel therein, is inserted into position without disturbing the position of a print wheel drive motor, a ribbon cartridge or hammer mechanism. The easy load mechanism automatically grabs the print wheel cartridge to swing the cartridge into a print wheel loaded position whereby the print wheel within the cartridge is automatically coupled to the print wheel drive motor shaft.
