2.1.3 Tape Feed Mechanism
When the tape is fed, the tape is pressed against the thermal head, which is nipped
between the platen and the thermal head. Here, the tape feed motor (step motor)
rotates, of which drive power is transmitted via the gear train to the platen gear and
the platen, and consequently the platen can feed the tape.
