ABSTRACT:
Each of a pair of spaced apart paper feed mechanisms within the paper feed system of a dot matrix line printer has opposite upper and lower portions thereof slightly angled relative to each other and disposed on opposite sides of and close to an elongated print station having a platen at one side thereof on which the paper feed mechanisms are mounted. Guides within the print station direct a length of paper introduced onto one portion of the paper feed mechanism through the print station and onto the other portion. Each paper feed mechanism is locked in a desired position on the platen using a manually operated lever arm arrangement having a mechanical advantage. Phasing or pitch adjustment between the opposite portions of each paper feed mechanism is accomplished by either of two arrangements which vary the position of a pulley engaging an endless belt between the opposite portions in combination with an opposite spring mounted pulley which bears against the inside of and tensions the endless belt. The opposite portions of each paper feed mechanism terminate in ramps which are angled to facilitate withdrawal of pins on the belt from apertures at the edges of the print paper. A lug arrangement at the end of the ramp prevents the toothed underside of the belt from slipping off of the meshing teeth of a pulley about which the belt extends. Slide members resiliently bear against and maintain the edges of the paper in contact with the belts.
