Abstract
Apparatus for incrementally advancing a sheet with high accuracy in which a single actuator causes both the incremental advance of a sheet-advancing roller and also the engagement of the sheet with a printing head upon completion of the incremental advance. The apparatus is particularly adapted to advance thermally sensitive paper past thermal print heads for line-at-a-time printing.
