ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a dot impact printer wherein a ribbon cassette formed, at its both end portions, with a pair of arm portions, respectively, between which an ink ribbon is exposed, and the ink ribbon therebetween is inserted and placed between a printing head and a platen. According to the first invention, the printer comprises a supporting frame displaceable between a first position for inserting the ink ribbon into the printing head and the platen and a second position for drawing out the ink ribbon from between these two. According to the second invention, the printer comprises an auto loading means which, in a condition in which the ribbon cassette is retained by the supporting frame, moves the ink ribbon to an insertion position where it is inserted between the printing head and the platen and to a draw-out position where it is drawn out from between these two.
