Abstract (en)

The device 10 comprises a printer 12 having dual printing heads 13 and 14 mounted one above the other on a carrier 15 so as to be moveable simultaneously in parallel spaced relationship as drive shaft 16 rotates and progresses carrier peg 39 along spiral groove 40 in the shaft 16. As the printing heads 13, 14 move their print needles impinge through ink-ribbon 35 upon a document immovably held between a document platen 21 and a platen damp-plate 22. The opening and closing of the clamp-plate 22 with respect to the platen 21 is controlled by a substantially cylindrical cam 26 rotatable by a solenoid 25 through level 27 and linkage 28. The solenoid 25 is activated when the inserted document passes in front of a document sensor 32 facing the document platen 21 through a gap 34 in the platen clamp-plate 22.
