Abstract
A printing apparatus wherein a transfer printing medium brought from the feed reel by the pinched transfer printing medium-forwarding mechanism is superposed on one unimpressed sheet after another supplied from a sheet-feeding means; data is impressed on the printing plane of the sheet; the pinching of the transfer printing medium by said transfer printing medium-forwarding mechanism is effected by means of a link mechanism interlockingly with the superposition of the printing head block on the transfer printing medium, and the disengagement of the transfer printing medium from said transfer printing medium-forwarding mechanism is effected also by means of said link mechanism interlockingly with the release of the printing head block from the transfer printing medium; and the above-mentioned pinching and disengagement of the transfer printing medium are respectively carried out by a single operation, thereby simplifying the loading of said transfer printing medium on the subject printing apparatus.
