ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically loading a printer with a recording medium, having a medium feeding motor, a carriage with a print head, a medium guide pivotable between a first position for urging the medium against a medium support, and a second position away from the support, a release member actuated by the motor, for pivoting the guide to the second position, a clutch operable between an operated position for transmitting a motion of the motor to the release member, a non-operated position in which the motion is not transmitted to the release member, and an intermediate position, a switching device operable by a movement of the carriage to a loading standby position, for operating the clutch from the non-operated position to the intermediate position in which a movement of the carriage away from the loading standby position toward the printing area permits the clutch to return to the non-operated position unless the motor is activated, and a controller for controlling the medium loading operation, by moving the carriage to the loading standby position, and activating the motor so as to operate the clutch from the intermediate position to the operated position.
