FIGS. 9A and 9B are schematic sectional views showing a driving mechanism of a conventional color video printer. Reference numeral 2 denotes the photographic paper box containing the photographic paper P, 3 denotes the ink film cartridge 5 containing the ink film I, and the thermal head 6 denotes a rotary lever. A capstan roller 7 and a pinch roller 8 are respectively supported on the rear side of the thermal head 5 below the ink film cartridge 3, and the ink film I and the printing paper P are provided on the front side of the capstan roller 7. A platen 9 pressed against the thermal head 5 is pivotally supported.

Further, a paper discharge roller 10 for drawing out the photographic paper P and a paper discharge belt 10 'are disposed adjacent to the cap stun roller 7, respectively. A paper feed roller 11 and a paper feed belt 11 are disposed above the photographic paper box 2, respectively, and a lever 12 for pushing up the photographic paper P when feeding paper is provided below the photographic paper box 2. Have been. In FIG. 8, unexplained reference numeral 4 in FIG. 8 indicates a keyboard unit, and unexplained reference numeral 13 in FIG.
Reference numerals 15 and 16 denote motors, respectively.

The operation of the conventional color video printer constructed as described above will be described as follows. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, when the printing paper lever 12 swings upward by the driving of the motor 15 and pushes up the printing paper pressing plate 13, the printing paper P stored in the printing paper box 2 is fed. It is brought into contact with the belt 11 ′, pushed forward, sandwiched between the cap stun roller 7 and the pinch roller 8, and advanced to a position where printing proceeds. Then, the platen 9 is brought into close contact with the thermal head 5 by driving the motor 16, and the printing is performed by pressing the printing paper P.

However, in such an ink film and photographic paper mounting device of a conventional color video printer, two separately formed ink film cartridges and a photographic paper box are separately provided on the printer main body. Since each of the two insertion slots is separately inserted and attached to the printer main body, the user must repeat the operation twice, which is extremely troublesome. Further, there is an inconvenience that an unnecessary space is generated due to the configuration of the printer, and the volume of the product itself is increased.

In order to solve such problems, the inventors of the present invention have conducted various studies, and as a result, have attempted to provide the following ink film and photographic paper mounting device for a color video printer.

[0008]

That is, a color video printer comprising an integrated ink film and a photographic paper box in which an ink film cartridge section and a photographic paper storage chamber are integrally formed. On the front side of the main body, one insertion opening for inserting an integrated ink film and a photographic paper box is formed, and guide plates of a predetermined shape are respectively mounted on predetermined inside four sides of the printer main body, and the guide plates are used. The integrated ink film and the photographic paper box are attached to and supported by the printer body, a fixed portion is formed at a predetermined portion on the inner side of both front and rear chassis of the printer body, and a guide plate is screwed to the fixed portion, The guide plate guides the photographic paper fed from the photographic paper storage chamber of the integrated ink film and photographic paper box, and prints. To obtain conducted and constitutes an ink film and paper loading device for a color video printer.
