Tape Feed Mechanism

When the tape is fed, the tape is pressed against the thermal head, which is nipped between
the platen and the thermal head. Here, the tape feed motor (step motor) rotates, of which
drive power is transmitted via the gear train to the platen gear and the platen, and
consequently the platen can feed the tape.
