    (54) Paper clamping mechanism


    (57) Disclosed is a device for reducing a printing time by discharging a record paper (15) under the condition of friction force just after printing completely, and for saving a substantial length of a ribbon (16) by advancing a ribbon (16) only for printing. Thus, when printing the third color C after printing the first and second colors Y and M, and a holding bar (3) is separated from the record paper (15), the record paper (15) is lifted by its resilient force. As a result, printing of three colors Y, M and C is performed simultaneously with the discharging of the printed record paper (15).
