The imprinter includes a platen adapted to be moved from an initial position to an extreme position and back over the printing area on the base. Gear wheels are provided for positioning print wheels, and a stop means is provided to prevent movement of the platen to a movable mode until all the print wheels have been reset by actuation of a reset handle preceding a printing operation.
