Abstract
An aligning device is provided in a paper transport path in a printer, for correcting a recording paper to be parallel to the paper transport path. The aligning device has a pair of guide members ( ) that are shifted in a lateral direction to the paper transport path by a drive mechanism ( ), to push side edges of the recording paper, and a stopping plate ( ) for stopping the guide members at an aligning position. The drive mechanism is constituted of a cam shaft ( ) rotated by an aligning motor, a pair of swing levers ( ) for converting rotational movement of the cam shaft into swinging movement, and a pair of sliding levers ( ) that slide in the lateral direction with the swinging movement of the swing levers. The guide members are mounted on pivot pins ( ) of the sliding levers, so the guide members may incline relative to the parallel direction to the paper transport path.
