Abstract
A paper feeding roller rotates to feed the continuous paper along a paper path. A print head performs printing on the continuous paper. The print head has a first side opposing to the paper path and a second side opposite to the first side. A cutter mechanism is overlappingly disposed with the print head, at a downstream of the paper path relative to the print head, to cut the continuous paper. A motor is disposed in the second side of the print head to provide a driving force to the paper feeding roller and the cutter mechanism. A cutter driving mechanism is disposed in the second side of the print head to transmit the driving force of the motor to operate the cutter mechanism.
