Abstract
A guide device for a printing paper strip in a nonimpact printer allows easy and reliable loading of the printing paper strip and may not cause separation of the printing paper strip from conveyor rollers or deviation of a printing position from the normal printing position. The guide device comprises an operation member, a printing paper guide member which is movable between a close position and a separated position with respect to a conveyance path of the printing paper strip in synchronism with operation of the operation member, a platen member for urging the printing paper strip against a printing head, and a link mechanism for moving the platen member between an urging position and a separated position with respect to the printing head in synchronism with the operation of the operation member.
