Abstract
A thermal printer print head support device allows the position of the thermal print head printing element to be shifted to the front or the rear relative to the platen axis. Thereby the printing pressure is varied and the print quality is optimized by matching the printing pressure to the different properties, such as thickness and hardness, of the printing media (tags, labels. etc.).
