Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0297486A2] For achieving a high positional accuracy of the paper with respect to a printing head (7) and a stable paper feeding over a long period in a printer, a paper feeding apparatus for a printer comprises a platen (5), a paper feeding tractor (11) for feeding fan-fold paper (13), arranged at the upstream side of said platen (5) with respect to the paper feeding direction (d), a power mechanism (6, 14 - 18) for driving said platen (5) and said paper feeding tractor (11), a roller (1) located at the downstream side of said palten and coupled to said power mechanism to rotate with the same or a higher circumferential speed than that of the platen (5), and a pressing member (2, 20) for pressing the paper (13) which is fed out from the upper side of the platen (5) after printing, against said roller (1).
