Abstract

A positioning device for a document processing device is formed of an elongated frame having two side portions located at both ends of a center portion and bent relative to the center portion, a platen roller attached between the two side portions, a processing device attached between the two side portions and situated adjacent to the platen roller, and a fixing device for fixing the processing device to the frame. The fixing device includes two projections projecting from the processing device to engage the processing device to the side portions, a supporting point for positioning the processing device to the platen roller and a pressing member for urging the processing device to the platen roller. The platen roller and the processing device can be made thin, and can be easily assembled together.
