    Abstract: A support structure for a detachable platen roller of a printer that rotates to feed paper, or the like includes a frame that holds the platen roller and a pair of bushings attached to the frame. Ends of a shaft of the platen roller are inserted into the bushings. A part of either the frame or each of the bushings located around the shaft and closer to a guide surface of the platen roller than the frame in a longitudinal direction of the platen roller forms a support part that receives a force applied by a print head pressing against the platen roller.

    Abstract: A print unit is disposed in an apparatus having a printing function. The print unit includes a print engine configured to perform printing on a continuous sheet, and a damper located on an upstream side of a sheet entrance of the print engine in a sheet traveling direction and configured to adjust tension applied to the continuous sheet to be fed to the print engine. The damper includes a sheet guide having a planar guide portion which guides the continuous sheet to the sheet entrance, and an end portion of the guide portion on a downstream side in a sheet traveling direction is configured as a fixed end resting on the sheet entrance, and another end portion thereof on an opposite side is configured as a swinging end which is elastically biased toward the continuous sheet by a spring force of a spring.

    Abstract: A magnetic ink reader includes a conveyance mechanism for a sheet, a magnetizing mechanism configured to magnetize magnetic ink on the sheet and including a magnet having a first side of a first polarity, that is arranged to face the sheet, and a yoke that is formed of a soft magnetic material and includes a base portion attached directly to a second side of the magnet, and a partition wall of a second polarity extending towards the conveyance path, such that a side surface of the partition wall faces a third side of the magnet and an end surface of the partition wall faces the sheet, and a magnetic detection head for detecting magnetism of magnetized magnetic ink. A first distance between the conveyance path and the first side of the magnet and a second distance between the conveyance path and the end surface of the partition wall are different.

    Abstract: A sheet winding mechanism includes a detachable winding core, a rotating body coupled to a first end portion of the winding core to rotate the winding core, and a non-rotating body against which a second end of the winding core is pressed. The winding core includes a winding core main body, a first portion which is located at the first end portion and is coupled to the rotating body, a second portion which is located at the second end portion, is movable in the axial direction, and presses against the non-rotating body, a first elastic body which urges the second portion outward along the axial direction, and a sheet holding portion configured to hold an end portion of a sheet. When the rotating body rotates the winding core while the sheet holding portion is holding the end portion of the sheet, the sheet is wound around the winding core.

    Abstract: A printer apparatus includes an issue opening, a printing section along a transport path of a printable medium, a cutting section disposed downstream of the printing section along the transport path of the printable medium, and a temporary fastening section disposed downstream of the cutting section along the transport path of the printable medium. The temporary fastening section is configured to hold a leading edge portion of the printing medium at a position laterally offset from the transport path at a time the printable medium is cut by the cutting section after printing by the printing section.

    Abstract: A sheet gripping mechanism includes a first sheet guide including a guide surface facing a sheet conveyance path along which a sheet is to be conveyed and a second sheet guide which faces the first sheet guide across the sheet conveyance path. The second sheet guide includes a protuberance extending toward the first sheet guide, to locations beyond the guide surface formed by the first sheet guide. When a sheet is located between the first sheet guide and the protuberance of the second sheet guide, the protuberance extends at least a portion of the sheet toward the first sheet guide to bring a part of a surface of the sheet into contact with the first sheet guide.
