Abstract
A printing apparatus having a printing unit and a paper supply unit mounted thereon is provided with a control means which controls a carriage such that it occupies a position other than its home position when a front end of a paper passes through a guide member for guiding a printed paper. The apparatus can be provided with a movable paper guide which is movable between a use position and a wait position. A clutch mechanism is provided for transferring rotation from the platen to a feed roller associated with the paper supply unit.
