Abstract
An integrated ink-and-paper cassette (1) mountable to a thermal transfer printer includes a casing (11) defining an ink-sheet supply unit housing (20) and an ink-sheet take-up unit housing (21) with an opening (34) provided therebetween for feeding a recording sheet (13). An engagement unit (35, 36) is provided at a surface of the casing (11) substantially perpendicular to an axis of a first bobbin (12a), for engaging an engagement portion (56, 57) of the printer to prevent deformation of the cassette (1) when the cassette (1) is mounted to the printer.
