Abstract
The printer is for printing on a narrow print-receiving medium such as a ticket (T) which passes lengthwise through the printer. The printer includes an anvil or platen which is at least partially constituted by a cylindrical roller (150) capable of rotating about its own axis (322) in such a manner that its cylindrical surface accompanies the movement of the narrow medium substantially without slipping. A dot-matrix print head is movable in translation transversely to the motion of the medium so as to print thereon against a generator line of the roller. The improvement lies in the printer further including a unitary guide assembly (301, 302, 307, 313) for guiding both rotation of the roller and translation of the print head.
