ABSTRACT:
A tape printer capable of performing multicolor printing and permitting an already printed tape to be rewound for printing two line character trains, bold printing and adding ornamental frames beside the first printed character train. The tape printer installs therein a tape cassette in which is housed a print tape and an ink ribbon formed with different colored ink portions at a set pitch in the lengthwise direction of the print tape. An ink ribbon take up mechanism is provided for taking up ink ribbon that passes between a platen and a print element provided external to the cassette. Tape transport mechanism is provided for transporting the print tape. The tape printer is constructed so that ink ribbon and the print tape are transportable in a forward direction for printing, and the ribbon take up mechanism stops and the platen is movable away from the printing section when the tape transport mechanism reversely transports the print tape.
