Abstract
Problems related to being unable to convey recording paper in a printer due to the tension guide that guides the recording paper while tensioning the paper are eliminated. A removable guidecan be removably installed to the tension guideof the printer. The removable guidehas a second guide surface that is defined by a pair of rollers. When printing on recording paperA that has a high friction coefficient for making wrist bands, the removable guideis installed to the tension guide, the recording paperA is passed over the rollers, and the recording paperA is guided to the paper feed rollerwhile tension is maintained. The recording paperA can be reliably conveyed because the paper feed load of the removable guidepressed to the recording paperA by the tension guideis small.
