Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of thermal printers, and more particularly to a thermal print head frame structure. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the positioning structure of the thermal print head of traditional barcode printers includes a print head fixing plate. The print head fixing plate is closely fitted with the print head positioning shaft, and the manufacturing errors of related parts are adjusted by the screws on the print head positioning shaft to ensure the distance between the thermal print head and the paper feed rubber roller. However, this design has a large assembly difficulty, a long adjustment time during mass production, and it is not easy for installers to determine whether the position between the thermal print head and the paper feed rubber roller is in place. It can only be determined by printing a test page. As for those who have no experience in judging the printing effect, even with a print test page, it is difficult to accurately judge whether the printing effect is the best. In addition, since the thermal print head is a consumable item, it needs to be frequently replaced, and whether the position between the replaced print head and the paper feed rubber roller is in place also depends on the experience and judgment level of the operator, so it is very difficult to control.
