Abstract
In a ribbon guide device used in a printing machine, a second ribbon guide arm member out of first and second ribbon guide arm members provided individually at a pair of ribbon aperture portions of a ribbon cassette can be attached to and removed from the ribbon cassette. An effective printing ribbon portion is stretched between the first and second ribbon guide arm members. When the second ribbon guide arm member is attached to the ribbon cassette, the stretched ribbon portion covers a part of the traveling stroke of the printing head. The second ribbon guide arm member can also be attached to and removed from a mounting section of the frame of the printing machine. When the second ribbon guide arm member is attached to the mounting section, the stretched ribbon portion covers the whole traveling stroke of the printing head.
