ABSTRACT:
A shuttle printer has a flexible arm made of a resilient member, to which tip guides are fixed. Print wires driven by a plurality of piezoelectric actuators are supported by the flexible arm. Midway guides are provided to support and guide the intermediate portions of the print wires. The tip guides guide and support the tip ends of the print wires. The tip guides and the midway guides are rotatably supported by the flexible arm. When the tip guides are reciprocated in the lateral direction thereof by a reciprocating mechanism, the resilient arm is also driven to swing. Therefore, printing is carried out while a pair of resilient members of the flexible arm are elastically deformed in the lateral direction.
