ABSTRACT:
A transfer type thermal printer includes a heat sensitive ink ribbon which is fed along an ink ribbon feeding path, a part of which is defined as a recording section, a thermal printhead and a platen roller, both located at the recording section in pressure contact with the ink ribbon sandwiched therebetween. A paper transporting path is defined in the printer for transporting a sheet of recording paper through the recording section where the recording paper is passed between the printhead and the platen roller in surface contact with the ink ribbon. A main feature of the present printer includes a housing which is generally divided into two: upper housing half and lower housing half, and the upper housing half is pivotted to the lower housing half at one end so that the upper housing half may be pivotted open or closed with respect to the lower housing half with the printhead being mounted in the upper housing half and the platen roller being disposed in the lower housing half.
