Disclosed are printers capable of easy and precise head gap adjustment. In the printer, a cam mechanism,consisting of a fixed cam,and a rotatable cam,put between each end of a platen,and a swing frame,. The platen,is normally biased to the swing frame,by a torsion coil spring,. A driving gear,rotatably supported on the swing frame,is engaged with a driven gear,formed on the rotatable cam,. The driving gear,is rotated by an operating tool,inserted from above, whereby the rotatable cam,is rotated by gear drive. In accordance with the rotation of the rotatable cam,, the platen,vertically moves with the fixed cam,, whereby head gap with respect to a printing head is adjusted. The driving gear,can be unrotatable by securing a screw,as a rotatable axis thereof by operation from above, whereby the platen,is secured.
