ABSTRACT:
A hand held printer for printing on a print paper when the printer is manually moved over the surface of the paper is provided. A single manually manipulatable housing supports an input for imputting characters and drawings to be printed and a display for displaying the inputted characters and drawings. A print mechanism supported within the housing prints the inputted characters and drawings on the print paper upon manual manipulation of the housing. A thermal head is supported within the housing. A thermal transfer ribbon traces a path through the printer. A slide guide which is slidable relative to the print surface supports a slide means. The slide means guides the thermal transfer ribbon to come in contact with the print surface.
