ABSTRACT:
A marking machine having plural marking heads, the novel heads being separately reciprocable between a retracted storage position and an extended marking position to provide plural print lines on, e.g., a label. The marking heads reciprocate in motion planes angled relative one to another, with at least one of the motion planes being angled at an acute angle to the machine's platen, to permit closer spacing of the print lines one to the other on the label. The marking machine also includes a novel inker mechanism that permits an ink pad to be easily removed from gravity connected relation with its motor for re-inking of the pad apart from the machine. The marking machine further includes a novel print adjustor mechanism for each marking head which selectively cooperates with all print bands on wheels of that head for easy and simple manual repositioning of the bands on wheels as desired.
