Plural print drivers are circularly arranged in plural layers for first print drivers belonging to a layer near to the wire guide and for second print drivers belonging to a layer far from the wire guide. A print wire is provided at each print driver so as to project end thereof from the guide hole of the wire guide when driven. The print wires formed at the first print drivers are inserted in the guide holes of lines located at the edge formed in the wire guide. On the other hand, the print wires formed at the second print drivers are inserted in the guide holes of lines located at the center of the wire guide.
