ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for imprinting the raised indicia from a credit card on a copy sheet has a support provided with a holder for the credit card. A printing head is movable on the support between a raised position spaced from the holder and a lowered position juxtaposed therewith. In this lowered position an electrical actuator in the head can roll a platen roller across the card to imprint indicia on the card on a copy sheet overlying the card. An electromagnet in the support holds the head in the lowered position during the printing cycle. Switches are provided to energize the actuator once the head is fully in the lowered position and to deenergize the holding electromagnet after the printing cycle is completed so that the head can return to the raised position.
