The photoelectric converter 13 is moved forth and back by a reversible motor (not shown in figure) provided to one terminal of the guide shaft of a carriage 13. A platen 30, on the other hand, is positioned almost at the center part of an image formation part 9, and a thermal head 31 is arranged opposite thereto. This platen 30 is also rotated forward and backward by the unshown pulse motor to move forth and back recording paper stacked in a paper feed cassette 42.
