ABSTRACT:
A thermal transfer printer wherein a ribbon cassette adapted to receive therein an ink ribbon which is guided outside from a ribbon take-out portion in a manner such that the ribbon is drawn out of a ribbon pull-in portion is placed on a carriage, and a head mounting member supporting the thermal head is disposed within a recess formed on the platen side of the carriage so that the mounting member may be moved to and from the platen, characterized by the provision of a moving mechanism in which the width of the recess in the carriage moving direction is formed to be larger than that of the head mounting member in the same direction as the former so that the carriage and the head mounting member may be relatively moved in the carriage moving direction, and the head mounting member and the carriage may be relatively moved so that when the head mounting member is projected from the recess of the carriage toward the platen, the head mounting member is moved close to the ribbon pull-in portion of the ribbon cassette within the recess.
