Abstract
One of a ribbon feed roller (32) and a pressure roller (34) for making an endless ink ribbon (30) run is displaceable relative to the other roller thereof for facilitation of replacement of the ink ribbon, and can be locked at a withdrawn position thereof. In a state where one roller is locked at the withdrawn position, mounting of the ink ribbon cassette on a printer is obstructed. Also, a running direction and an orientation of the endless ink ribbon are defined so that damage to the bonded portion of the endless ink ribbon is delayed as much as possible.
