Then, the height adjustment screw 41 is protruded from the surface of the bracket 50 side of the platen 40, and a lower surface (contact part, the end of the bracket 50 side) 41b of the height adjustment screw 41 is brought into contact with the bracket 50, thus, the height of the platen 40 relative to the bracket 50 can be adjusted (distance D between the platen 40 and the bracket 50).
  • an inner through hole 44 of which center axis is a straight line parallel to the depth direction of the through hole 43 is provided in the height adjustment screw 41.
  • the position fixing screw 42 has a flange portion 42a having a diameter larger than the diameter of the inner through hole 44, and an extended portion 42b which passes through the inner through hole 44 and is screwed to a female screw 51 provided in the bracket 50.
  • the inner through hole 44 serves as an opening hole allowing the position fixing screw 42 to pass through, so that the position fixing screw 42 is screwed to the bracket 50.
  • an engaging groove with which a screwdriver or the like is engaged is formed in the upper surface (the end opposite to the bracket 50) of the flange portion 42a, and when the position fixing screw 42 is turned using a screwdriver or the like, the platen 40 is sandwiched between the lower surface (the end of the bracket 50 side) of the flange portion 42a of the position fixing screw 42 and the upper surface of the bracket 50 so as to fix the bracket 50 and the platen 40.
  • the diameter of the flange portion 42a may not necessarily be larger than the through hole 43 as long as the diameter of the flange portion 42a is larger than the diameter of the inner through hole 44. Note that, in the case that the diameter of the flange portion 42a is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 43, when the lower surface of the flange portion 42a is brought into contact with the upper surface of the height adjustment screw 41, the platen 40 and the bracket 50 can be fixed.
  • height adjustment and position fixing using the adjustment mechanism according to the present embodiment may be performed as follows. First, the height adjustment screw 41 is inserted into the through hole 43 in the platen 40 in the state shown in Fig. 2 (b) in order to adjust the height of the platen 40 relative to the bracket 50. That is, the engaging groove 41c with which a Phillips head screwdriver or the like is engaged is formed in the upper surface of the height adjustment screw 41, and when the height adjustment screw 41 is turned using a screwdriver or the like, the protrusion height of the lower surface 41b of the height adjustment screw 41 protruding from the platen 40 through the bracket 50 side can be adjusted.
