Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Problems related to being unable to convey recording paper in a printer due to the tension guide that guides the recording paper while tensioning the paper are eliminated. A removable guide 40 can be removably installed to the tension guide 26 of the printer 1 . The removable guide 40 has a second guide surface that is defined by a pair of rollers 45, 46 . When printing on recording paper 25 A that has a high friction coefficient for making wrist bands, the removable guide 40 is installed to the tension guide 26 , the recording paper 25 A is passed over the rollers 45, 46 , and the recording paper 25 A is guided to the paper feed roller 30 while tension is maintained. The recording paper 25 A can be reliably conveyed because the paper feed load of the removable guide 40 pressed to the recording paper 25 A by the tension guide 26 is small.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A printer, comprising: a printhead; a paper feed roller configured to convey a web of recording paper to a printing position of the printhead; a tension guide that has a first guide surface configured to guide the web of recording paper in a direction of the paper feed roller, the tension guide elastically displaceable to apply specific tension to the web of recording paper; and a removable guide that has a second guide surface with a friction coeffici…
