Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0498973A2] A printer of this type has a device for setting the spacing (13) between the print head (1) and a platen (3) for recording media (3a) of uneven thickness, having a scanning roller (2). <??>In order to operate not only in the region of the spring-mounted scanning roller (2) in the case of uneven pressing forces, which has a particular effect in the case of recording media (3a) of considerably different thicknesses, it is proposed to use a rigidly mounted scanning roller (2) and/or a leading or trailing scanning lever (15) which control the print head spacing electronically. <IMAGE>
