Abstract: There is disclosed a multi-line print head. In one embodiment, one line of the print head has a series of printing bands and another line has a printing member of generally U-shaped configuration. The printing bands and the printing members have printing characters disposed in a common printing plane or print surface and the printing characteristics of the printing bands and the printing member are substantially the same. The print head has two or more supports on which the printing bands and the printing member are supported. The print head also has a pair of side plates which straddle the supports, the printing bands and the printing member. The printing member can be readily inserted onto or removed from its related support member even after the print head has been assembled. In another embodiment, a U-shaped printing member is supported by a pair of supports.
