Abstract
Oscillating and fixing apparatus for oscillating and fixing the recording head in an image forming machine. A recording head records an image on a recording medium which is fed to the record location by a recording medium feeding device. The feeding device has a reference surface. Oscillating apparatus oscillates the recording head toward and away from the recording medium and causes the recording head to abut the reference surface following the forward movement. A fixing device prevents the oscillation effected by the oscillating apparatus and fixes the recording head with respect to the recording medium to protect the recording head from vibration and shock.
