The printer can improve the workability of storing and ejecting printing sheets in or from a storage tray. The printer includes a storage tray comprising a sheet storage case for storing a stack of a plurality of printing sheets with at least one of the sides of the storage case being opened and a cover for covering the sheet storage case, wherein the cover comprises a cover body and an moveable member supported by the cover body for freely opening and closing the opening of the sheet storage ca...

A first frame supports one of a platen and a dot-impact type print head. A second frame supports the other one of the platen and the print head. The second frame is supported by the first frame so as to be pivotable between a first position and a second position. The first position is a position where the print head opposes the platen to define a printing position at which printing is performed on a printing medium through an ink ribbon which are placed between the print head and the platen. The...

To provide a printer capable of matching arrangement cycles of parallax images and lenses with each other inexpensively and easily. There is provided a printer comprising: a recording head that discharges ink to a predetermined position of a recording medium while being moved in a main scan direction relative to the recording medium on which an image is printed; a recording-head moving unit that moves the recording head in the main scan direction; a recording-medium moving unit that moves the re...

A printer 1 includes a sheet storage unit 6 in which a stack of sheets can be set, a pickup roller 12 which contacts one side of the stack of sheets set in the sheet storage unit 6, and a lid 10 which covers the other side of the stack of sheets. In this structure, each sheet 7 is conveyed toward a print mechanism unit 14 by the revolution of the pickup roller 12. The printer 1 is provided with first ribs 10a and a second rib 3a which forcibly curl the sheets 7 set in the sheet storage unit 6 in...

A printer comprises a receiving section which receives printing jobs from a networked personal computers, a storage section which stores the received printing jobs, and a printing section which executes a printing job extracted from the storage section. A control section of the printer determines whether the printing jobs received by the receiving section include special printing, and causes a display section to display a list of the printing jobs including the special printing. The printing sec...

A printer (100) for printing based on a print job signal sent from a data processing device (200) registers print job signal sending sources and a message corresponding to each sending source in memory (111, 112). A controller (113) detects whether the sending source of a received print job signal is registered in memory. If the sending source is registered, a messaging unit (110, 111) outputs a corresponding message. Sending sources that are permitted to print can also be registered in memory (...

A printer apparatus in which its apparatus main body's width dimension can be minimized, by achieving compact housing of a maintenance station for performing maintenance operations with effective use of the space existing at both ends of a printing region. There are maintenance stations separately arranged as left- and right-hand portions at both ends outside the printing region. The maintenance station provides: a capping mode for capping a nozzle of the printing head; a wiping mode for wiping ...

A printer for printing characters and images on recording paper comprising: a paper cassette for storing the recording paper; a platen roller around which the recording paper is wound at the time of the transfer of images for printing; a clamping mechanism for clamping the recorrding paper between the clamping mechanism and the platen roller; a motor for driving the platen roller through a gear unit; a thermal printing head for transfferring images onto the recording paper; a paper feeding rolle...

Code conversion tables for some major language spheres are stored in a ROM 13 in a printer. Pattern information of all kinds of characters, discriminately represented by their internal codes, are stored in a character generator 15. For code conversion tables for other language spheres than major language spheres, the definition information of each code conversion table is registered in an EEPROM 17 in the printer, from a host device. The definition information of a code conversion table may be p...

A printer is capable of preventing the formation of creases in a portion of an ink ribbon corresponding to a print head and of printing characters and images in good print quality without forming streaks attributable to creases in the ink ribbon. A main frame supports a feed spool and a takeup spool so that an ink ribbon extends between the feed spool and the takeup spool. A print head support frame supporting a print head and an ink ribbon guide is supported pivotally at one end thereof on the ...
