Abstract
A feed arrangement for transporting a record carrier around and in intimate contact with a printing platen in a printer. The feed arrangement includes a rotatable guiding member in the form of a paddle wheel having a number of resilient blades mounted in interference relationship to the platen. The guiding member serves to capture the leading edge of the record carrier and redirect it toward and then urge it into intimate contact with the platen.
