ABSTRACT:
A hand-held printer such as an electronic numbering machine includes a plurality of type carrying belts or a plurality of type wheels. A drive system is associated with the type carrying belts or the type wheels to rotate the type carrying belts (type wheels) in a forward direction. A type selection system is provided for each type carrying belt (type wheel) for stopping the rotation of the type carrying belt (type wheel) when a desired type reaches a preselected position suited for the following type impact operation. After completion of the type selection operation, the type carrying belts (type wheels) are driven to swing in a predetermined direction, whereby the selected types make contact with a print receiving paper. After completion of the type impact operation, the type carrying belts (type wheels) are driven to swing in the counter direction and to rotate in a reverse direction for returning the printer to the initial stand-by condition.
