Abstract
A printing apparatus is operative for applying images to the opposite sides of continuous strips at first and second printing stations. The apparatus includes a feed assembly driven by a stepping motor for advancing a continuous strip from the first reprinting station to the second printing station and a controller which is responsive to a predetermined number of stepped rotational increments of the stepping motor for coordinating the printing operation at the second printing station with the printing operation at the first printing station. The preferred form of the apparatus is operative with thermal print heads, and it includes head mounting assemblies which are operative with toggle-like actions between actuated and unactuated positions.
