Abstract
In a printer for facsimile machines or the like, a forward end of paper to be fed is temporarily fixed between a platen roller and a print head before printing by the print head is started. A paper feed roller is then rotated so that an inclination of the paper is corrected. Guides are provided so that the paper is fed in a direction of a tangential line of the platen roller at a holding point between the platen roller and the print head.
