Abstract
An impact printer is provided with an easy load print wheel mechanism. A print wheel cartridge, containing a print wheel therein, is inserted into a print wheel loaded position and removed therefrom without disturbing the position of a print wheel drive motor or ribbon cartridge. The print wheel drive motor shaft is automatically coupled to the print wheel within the cartridge upon insertion of the cartridge into print wheel loaded position.
