Abstract

An automatic/manual shuttle mechanism is used to open and close the bail mechanism which holds a print sheet against the platen roller (36) of a typewriter/printer. The shuttle mechanism includes a shuttle member (218) fitted with a slot (224). The slot rides (or shuttles) against a pin (246) which is mounted to the frame of the typewriter/printer. The shuttle mechanism is coupled to the bail mechanism. In an automatic mode of operation, a motor/crank assembly (236, 238,234, 232, 229, 230) drives the shuttle mechanism (218). In a manual mode of operation, a manual lever (216) drives the shuttle member.
