Abstract
A printing device for printing a continuous strip of indicia. The printing device comprises a housing defining a handle and an operating end portion. The operating end portion defines a print wheel cavity adapted to carry a print wheel with an outer circumferential printing surface for rotation about a wheel axis. An inking assembly comprising an ink housing and an inking roller is moveable between a first forward position where the inking roller is in contact with the print wheel and a second retracted position where the inking roller is spaced from the print wheel. A spring is mounted in the housing which is adapted to urge the inking roller toward the first forward position and releasable retaining structure positioned on the ink housing is adapted to hold the inking assembly in the second retracted position.
