Abstract
To adjust positions of pinch rollers without rotating a press drum, in a nonprinting state, the pinch rollers are lifted to upper positions at which the pinch rollers are not brought into contact with the press drum by pivoting arms and cams, and the pinch rollers are moved along a shaft in conformity with width of a print sheet to thereby adjust a clearance therebetween. In starting a printing operation, since the pinch rollers are not brought into contact with the press drum and the width can immediately be adjusted, it is not necessary to move a recess portion of the press drum to location of the pinch rollers by rotating the press drum, therefore a first print time is shortened.
