The other wheel is adapted to be driven by a driving shaft to select the character to be printed. The belts are selectively swung in response to a signal from a control circuit to abut the characters selected against the platen onto a paper therebetween, and the belts are also selectively moved by the other wheels in response to electrical signals which drive a drive shaft which drives the other wheels.
