ABSTRACT:
A printing apparatus including a printing section defined between a platen and a printing head mounted for movement in parallel with the platen to convert information into printed form on a printing medium placed in the printing section. At least one pair of feed rollers is provided for feeding the printing medium to the printing section and at least one pair of discharge rollers is provided for discharging the printing medium from the printing section. The nip of the feed rollers are substantially flush with the printing section and the nip of the discharge rollers is substantially flush with the printing section. The printing apparatus includes two printing medium guide paths. The first guide path is curved for guiding the printing medium to the nip of the feed rollers. The second guide path extends straight toward the nip of the feed rollers. The second guide path is effective to feed a thick or inflexible printing medium to the printing section.
