Abstract

A ribbon cartridge 28 in a movable print-point printer remains stationary while the ribbon 20 moves to and from the print-point along a path of fixed length. The path length is established by a first flexible leader 34 which extends from the cartridge 28 to the print-point and a second flexible leader 36 which extends from the print point back to the cartridge 28. The cartridge 28 includes a supply reel 60 for storing ribbon 20 before the ribbon advances to the movable print point, and a take-up reel 64 for storing ribbon 20 after it returns from the movable print point. A metering drive 70 is associated with the supply reel 60 to meter out the ribbon 20, and a take-up drive 76, 78 is associated with the take-up reel 64 to control the tension on the ribbon 20 and thereby control the friction through the flexible leaders 34, 36. <IMAGE>
