Abstract
A pair of feed rollers for sending an ink ribbon into a ribbon case have a number of grooves on the circumferential faces thereof such that opposed grooves do not mesh with each other. A heater is disposed in a travel path for the ink ribbon, for heating the ink ribbon to prevent deterioration of the drawability of the ink ribbon drawn by the pair of feed rollers.
