On the other hand, as shown in (b) of Fig. 8, when installing the 2nd tape drum C2 on box installation portion 10, the lower surface 39 of the 2nd tape drum C2 does not engage with the holding section 83 of head moving-member 44.Therefore, holding section 83 can not produce the pressing force be subject to from the 2nd tape drum C2, and printhead 21 is biased spring 43 and exerts a force, and is still positioned at a separate location P2.Like this, by head moving-member 44, when being provided with the 1st tape drum C1, making printhead 21 move approximated position P1 to the end, when being provided with the 2nd tape drum C2, making printhead 21 move separate location P2 to the end.
According to above this structure, for the 1st tape drum C1 installed in the mode of the bottom surface 27e close to box installation portion 10, printhead 21 can be made to be positioned at an approximated position P1, for the 2nd tape drum C2 installed in the mode of the bottom surface 27e away from box installation portion 10, printhead 21 can be made to be positioned at a separate location P2.Therefore, it is possible to suppress the lower surface 39 of the tape drum C caused due to the shape difference of tape drum C and the variation of the position relationship of printhead 21.Therefore, it is possible to prevent from producing due to the lower surface 39 of tape drum C and the variation of the position relationship of printhead 21 harmful effects such as tape drum C and printhead 21 interfere.
Further, run through and insert sheet 63 because head moving-member 44 is configured to press the lower side shaft running through insertion for head bolster 41 and move it to press printhead 21, therefore, when pressing mobile, printhead 21 can not tilt relative to head bolster 41.Thereby, it is possible to make printhead 21 more stably move.Further, by utilizing head bolster 41 as the bolster of head moving-member 44, number of components can be cut down.
And then, to be configured to be wound on a bolster 41 due to force application spring 43 and to exert a force around head bolster 41 pairs of printheads 21, therefore, when mobile due to force, printhead 21 also can not tilt relative to head bolster 41, and printhead 21 can be made more stably to move.
Further, by be fixed on by connecting pin 65 on a pressing component 42 and to run through in the elongated hole inserting retainer 52 to the end, connecting pin 65 can not move with the movement of printhead 21.Thus, the pressing center that head pressing component 42 presses printhead 21 is constant, can all-the-time stable ground pressing printhead 21.
And then, by the mode consistent with the pressing center of printhead 21 with the middle position of the type belt T making storage, multiple tape drum C is installed, in the width gamut of type belt T, printhead 21 can be pressed equably.Thereby, it is possible to carry out the print processing based on thermal head better.
In addition, in the present embodiment, be configured to when setting the default location of printhead 21 to install the 1st tape drum C1 as a separate location P2, by head moving-member 44, make printhead 21 from the beginning separate location P2 move approximated position P1 to the end, but, also can be configured to, when setting the default location of printhead 21 to install the 2nd tape drum C2 as an approximated position P1, by head moving-member 44, make printhead 21 from the beginning approximated position P1 move separate location P2 to the end.
And, in the present embodiment, be configured to variform 2 kinds of tape drum C to be arranged on different height and positions, according to the installation site of tape drum C, printhead 21 is moved between head approximated position P1 and head separate location P2, but the shift position of the kind of tape drum C, the installation site of tape drum C and printhead 21 is not limited to 2.That is, they also can be more than 3.Such as, can 3 kinds of tape drum C be arranged in the structure of different height and positions, also can be configured to according to the installation site of each tape drum C, printhead 21 be moved between the height and position in 3 stages.
