ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a printer having a plurality of heating elements disposed on a thermal head which generate heat to melt a transfer material coated on a printing tape and transfer it onto a recording medium. The printer comprises a printer body having a recording paper setting device, a thermal head and head feed mechanism, and a tape cassette mounted vertically along the front of the printer body, which contains the printing tape. The invention is characterized in that the tape cassette stretches the printing tape throughout the overall length of space provided for movement of the thermal head. While the printing tape is held stationary, the head is moved in a stepping manner at every printing and is then fed for one character without printing after reaching the end of the print line. Thereafter, the head is restored to the beginning of the next print line, and the used tape is simultaneously wound onto a take-up spool in the cassette at a speed of substantially zero relative to the restoration of the thermal head to the beginning of the next print line.
