ABSTRACT:
When a ribbon cassette containing a print ribbon and having a looped portion exposed to the outside is mounted on a printer frame, a ribbon guide member movable along a print line of a platen, while in its initial position, is located within a region surrounded by the looped ribbon portion. The ribbon guide member is moved as a carriage mounted with a print head travels. While in engagement with the looped ribbon portion, the ribbon guide member moves to a position beyond one end of a printing range, where it is releasably latched. Thus, the ribbon is automatically stretched to cover the whole printing range.
