Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0321024A2] The printer has an interchangeable, insertable ink ribbon cassette which possesses storage space for an ink ribbon and a transport device for the ink ribbon, which can be driven by an electric motor via a reduction gear. The susceptibility of the printer to repair requirements is reduced by arranging the electric motor (12) and the reduction gear (15, 16) in a drive housing (6) firmly integrated with the housing of the ink ribbon cassette and means (7 to 10) by providing for establishing a current connection from the motor (12) to the printer by means of a detachable contact connection. <IMAGE>
