Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress generation of printing defects in the case of wrong contact with a securing means (securing member) for the use of fixing an ink sheet case during printing.
SOLUTION: The securing member includes an engaging part engaged with the ink sheet case 5. A sheet guide member 15 which guides a sheet, and a contact part 15a for suppressing movement of the ink sheet case 5 by contacting the ink sheet case 5 at the time of printing are set at a thermal head part 2. The contact part 15a is formed integrally with the sheet guide member 15. The ink sheet case 5 includes an ink sheet supply part 5a, an ink sheet winding part 5b, and a coupling part 5c which couples the ink sheet supply part 5a and the ink sheet winding part 5b to each other. The contact part 15a contacts the coupling part 5c of the ink sheet case 5 at the time of printing. The contact part 15a is deflected in a state while contacting the coupling part 5c of the ink sheet case 5 at the time of printing.
