Abstract
In a printed character printed with a printing apparatus provided with a plurality of type elements and a print hammer, the specified left or right edge portion thereof has ink adhered heavily on the paper, and this specified edge portion is difficult to be erased when erasing a wrongly printed character with a correction ribbon. In the disclosed character erasable printing apparatus, after moving the carriage from the print position by a predetermined minute distance in the printing direction or in its opposite direction toward the specified edge portion, a first hammering for erasure is carried out, and subsequently after moving the carriage in the direction opposite to above-described movement, at least, and without feeding the correction ribbon relative to the carriage, a second hammering for erasure is carried out with an unused fresh portion of the correction ribbon made to face the specified edge portion having residual ink.
