The serial impact printer is provided with a carriage, a printing head supported on the carriage and a platen having an outer surface adjacent the printing head to define a printing region therebetween. Tension rollers having outer surfaces positioned downstream of the platen for applying tension to the printing medium. The outer surface of the platen and the outer surfaces of the tension rollers define a plane tangent to the platen and the tension rollers. Supported on the carriage is a guide member having an end portion which protrudes through the plane towards the platen. The end portion of the guide member presses the printing medium out of the plane.
