ABSTRACT:
A thermal printer having a head carriage that includes: a head support member to which the thermal head is attached; a holding member for holding the head support member; and a connecting mechanism for connecting the head support member to the holding member so as to be rockable in forward and backward as well as leftward and rightward directions. The connecting mechanism includes: a shaft member fixed to the holding member; and an insertion hole for allowing the shaft member to be inserted thereinto, the insertion hole being formed in the head support member. The width of the insertion hole in the printing direction is substantially the same as the width of the shaft member, and the width of the insertion hole in a direction of the platen, the direction being orthogonal to the printing direction, is larger than the width of the shaft member as a whole but narrowed at a position in an axial direction thereof. The head support member is rotatable in the direction of the platen.
