Abstract

1. A device for a mechanical, preferably electromechanical printing mechanism for setting an ink ribbon in different tracks transversely to its travelling direction on a carrier which can be conveyed in the line direction in the printing mechanism, an ink-ribbon reserve being arranged on said carrier and said ink ribbon being moved past a printing device and through a printing region to an ink-ribbon take-up unit possibly also containing the ink-ribbon reserve, characterized in that said ink-ribbon reserve and said ink-ribbon take-up unit are arranged on a holding device (9) movable on said carrier (2) transversely to the travelling direction of the ink ribbon, said holding device being coupled with a drive unit (13) provided on said carrier (2), the stroke of said drive unit being divided into a plurality of steps corresponding to the number of ink-ribbon tracks (4a, 4b, 5a, 5b) provided.
