Abstract: A sheet moving apparatus comprising: a track having first and second spaced side walls and a third wall therebetween to form a sheet receiving space therebetween; and a sheet feeder for moving a sheet towards the third wall and thereafter moving the sheet in a downstream direction along the track. The sheet feeder comprises a rotatable member having a surface positioned in the sheet receiving space and a rotary drive enabling the rotatable member and its surface to be rotated. The sheet feeder also includes a toggle member moveable between first and second positions with regard to the rotatable member, with the toggle member having a first member to cooperate with the surface of the rotatable member to move a sheet towards the third wall when the toggle member is in the first position, and the rotatable member and its surface are rotated.

Abstract: A cassette for storing a ribbon having a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion has a front area having a print station area thereat and a rear area, and also has a first resilient arm having one end extending from the front area to the rear area and also having a free end. A ribbon supply reel is rotatably supported on the first arm and the top portion also has a second resilient arm formed therewith having a free end which engages the rim of the supply reel to form a drag thereon. The ribbon from the supply reel passes around the free end of the first arm, around a ribbon usage sensor, to the print station and is withdrawn back into the cassette by a take up reel located underneath the supply reel, with the take-up reel driven by a spindle.
