Roller Holder ASSY Setting & Retracting Mechanism
This mechanism consists of the roller release lever, roller release rod, and roller holder ASSY.
The roller holder supports the platen and tape feed sub roller so that they can move
perpendicularly to the thermal head and tape feed roller built in the tape cassette, respectively, as
well as rotating freely.
Loading a tape cassette and closing the cassette cover pushes down the roller release lever which
moves the roller release rod to the left as illustrated below. This pivots the roller holder ASSY
around the shaft provided on the chassis so as to press the roller holder ASSY against the thermal
head side.
The platen is pressed perpendicularly against the thermal head with the tape and ink ribbon (only
the tape when using non-laminated thermal film tape cassettes) sandwiched inbetween under a
uniform load by the roller holder springs. At the same time, the platen gear becomes engaged
with the P idle gear.
Also, the tape feed sub roller is pressed perpendicularly against the tape feed roller built in the
tape cassette with the tape (and base paper when using laminated tape cassettes) sandwiched
inbetween under a uniform load by the roller holder springs. At the same time, the sub roller gear
becomes engaged with the tape idle gear.
If you open the cassette cover, the roller release lever pops up so that the roller release rod
retracts the roller holder ASSY from the thermal head, providing you with enough space to replace
the tape cassette.
