ABSTRACT:
A thermal transfer printer in accordance with the present invention is a thermal transfer printer in which the major scanning is carried out by a thermal head and the minor scanning is carried out by the intermittent rotation of the platen, via a timing belt, by means of a step motor. The thermal head is arranged to have the lower running portion of the timing belt as the tension side of the belt, and the angle between the straight line which passes through the axis center of the timing pulley on the platen side and the starting point on the tension side of the wound portion of the belt, of the timing belt of the timing pulley on the platen side, and the second straight line which passes through the axis center of the platen and the center of the thermal head, is chosen to be within 60.degree..
