Abstract
A fixing mechanism for fixing a thermal print head module is disclosed. The thermal print head module is pivoted to a casing. The fixing mechanism includes a base, a linkage member and a plurality of positioning structures. The base is disposed on the casing. The linkage member is pivoted to the base and the thermal print head module. The linkage member is driven by the thermal print head module when the thermal print head module is rotated relative to the casing, such that the linkage member is pivoted to different positions relative to the base. The plurality of the positioning structures is disposed on the linkage member for fixing the linkage member, so as to position the thermal print head module in corresponding positions.
