ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus in which a comparatively small spacing is required for automatic loading of transfer paper of a transfer paper and record paper cartridge. The recording apparatus comprises a spool feeding mechanism for feeding a supply spool from a transfer paper and record paper cartridge mounted in position in the recording apparatus to an opposite position with respect to a platen roller to effect loading of the transfer paper, a paper supplying mechanism for supplying a record paper sheet from within the cartridge to the platen roller, and a print head which is pressed against the platen roller with the record paper sheet and the transfer paper interposed therebetween. The print head is held, when loading of the transfer paper is being performed, at a position at which it is spaced from the platen roller by a distance sufficient to allow the supply spool to pass through the spacing, but is moved, after such loading of the transfer paper is completed, to another position at which the print head is opposed to the platen roller so that it may be pressed against the platen roller to effect intended recording.
