Abstract
A ribbon shifting device has a cassette holder for holding a multicolor ribbon cassette, which is moved in a predetermined direction by a cam. The cam is driven by a driving means through a gear train consisting of at least two gears. When the cassette holder is located at the home position, a recess formed in one of the meshing gear is brought opposite to the other gear, so that the gears are disengaged, and then an urging means urges the cam in a direction to bring the gears into engagement. Thus, the adjustment of the home position of the cassette holder is achieved simultaneously, accurately and easily.
