Problems solved by technology

Impaired print quality due to the ribbon being loosely secured to the paper cassette, the ribbon can only pass unsteadily between and near the printhead and platen
The position of the ink ribbon and the paper ribbon fluctuates, so that a constant print quality cannot be obtained
[0009] On the other hand, if the gap between the peripheral surface of the accommodating port and the outer peripheral surface of the ribbon cassette is reduced to a slight gap so as to form a tight fit between the tape cassette and the ribbon cassette, smooth It becomes difficult to install the ribbon cassette into the tape cassette
Also, if the ribbon cassette expands due to heat, the ribbon cassette will get stuck in the paper cassette
