Abstract: A thermal printer including a first chassis, a second chassis, a cutting mechanism and a thermal printing mechanism. The first chassis has a movable blade of the cutting mechanism, a print head of the thermal printing mechanism, and an automatic activation mechanism for moving the movable blade from a platen roller of the thermal printing mechanism. A fixed blade of the cutting mechanism and the platen roller are positioned on the second chassis. The print head is horizontally placed allowing paper to be directed toward a frontal part of the printer, and the platen roller is placed right above the print head. The cutting mechanism is positioned vertically with a slight inclination so that movement of the movable blade is in a direction perpendicular to a line formed between a rotation axis of a cover of the printer and a contract point between the movable blade and the fixed blade.

Abstract: THERMAL PRINTER comprised by two chassis, first chassis (3) having movable blade (11) from cutting mechanism (7), thermal head (12) from thermal printing mechanism (9), automatic activation mechanism from movable blade and tracking mechanism from platen roller (8), and second chassis (4) wherein fixed blade of the cutting mechanism, and platen roller of the thermal printing mechanism are positioned. Thermal head is horizontally placed allowing paper direction to frontal part from printer, and platen roller is placed right above thermal head. On frontal part, there is a vertical cutting mechanism with slightly inclination so that mobile blade movement direction in perpendicular to line formed between cover rotation axis and the contract point between both blades.
