Abstract
An apparatus for printing paper sheets includes a sheet transport supported by a frame for carrying sheets past a print head along a generally planar paper path. The print head is mounted in a fixed but adjustable relationship with respect to the transport by a shaft rotatably mounted at each end to the frame to extend generally perpendicular to the paper path. A mounting plate has the print head secured thereto, and is in turn attached to the shaft whereby the mounting plate and the print head thereon are pivotable with the shaft from a normal position near the paper path to provide access to the path. A stop is provided for limiting pivotal movement of the plate towards the paper path. Provision is made for adjustment of the skew angle of the print head with respect to paper path, the lateral placement of the print head with respect to the path, and the distance of the print head from the paper path when in the normal position.
