Abstract

An electromechanical writing device comprising a writing head, a writing head carrier for carrying the writing head, a guide along which the writing head carrier is movable during a writing operation, a writing platen over which, in operation, a recording medium, e.g. paper, is moved during the writing operation, a shearing edge forming part of the writing platen and extending in a direction parallel to the direction of movement of the writing head, and a roller knife mounted for movement along the guide and cooperating with the shearing edge to permit the recording medium to be cut.
