PURPOSE: To easily switch a simultaneous setting system and an auto-loading system by rocking and rotating one of two shafts for supporting a tractor for driving to convey a continuous sheet at the tractor as a center.
CONSTITUTION: When a tractor 6 is pressed by a switching lever 11 and simultaneously switched to a conveying route of a setting system, forward of the tractor 6 simultaneously becomes a conveying route of setting, a continuous sheet 1 is pressed by the tractor 6, but inserted into a printing head 3 and a printing part of a platen 4 without passing a conveying roller 5. Accordingly, it becomes so-called 'simultaneous setting', a single slip 2 is fed to a printer by the roller 5 while the sheet 2 remains setting, and can be printed. If the tractor 6 is raised upward and the conveying route of the sheet 1 is switched to the position of the auto-loading, the sheet 1 is held toward the roller 5, and fed straightly to the head 3, the platen 4 to be printed.
