摘要

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method to secure a smooth transporting of a recording medium (P) in a printing device of the type in which a gap (G) between the print head (31) and the platen (32) is included in a transport path (10) for another purpose, e.g., reading of magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) characters on the recording medium, through use of a platen which is rotatable between two positions: a support position and a guide position, and which minimizes the gap adjacent the platen in the guide position.
