Abstract

Each of one or more groups of pressure rollers (24, 25), consisting of a plurality of pairs of rollers (26), is arranged on its own mounting frame (27) that is releasably carried on the connecting piece (4) of the printer frame (1). The mounting frames (27) are concurrently displaceable by means of a selectively adjustable displacement member (28) disposed parallel to the elongation of the platen roller (6) between a rest position and an operating position for accommodating both tractor-fed edge-perforated continuous forms and individual sheets of recording support material, respectively.
