A printer platen support mechanism that supports a platen unit having a platen that defines a printing position of a print head so that the platen unit can move between a closed position where the platen defines the printing position and an open position separated from the closed position, comprising: a guide mechanism that guides the platen unit to an intermediate position on a first path of movement between the closed position and the open position; and a six joint linkage mechanism that supports the platen unit guided along the first path of movement in a specific posture and causes the platen unit to move from the intermediate position to the open position along a curved second path of movement while held in a specific posture, the six joint linkage mechanism including wherein a first end of the first compound link and a first end of the second compound link are connected respectively to a third pin joint and a fourth pin joint at defined front and back positions with a specific distance therebetween when the platen unit is seen in a direction opening from the closed position to the open position; a second end of the first compound link and a second end of the second compound link are connected respectively to a fifth pin joint and a sixth pin joint at defined front and back positions of the platen unit with a specific distance therebetween when seen in the opening direction; when the platen unit is positioned above the first path of movement, a first gap between the third pin joint and the fifth pin joint, and a second gap between the fourth pin joint and the sixth pin joint, are less than respective maximum gaps therebetween, and when the platen unit moves from the first path of movement to the second path of movement, the first and second gaps increase to their respective maximum gaps; the guide mechanism has a platen unit guide channel that defines the first path of movement, and a slide member that can slide along the platen unit guide channel; the platen unit comprises a part of the platen unit guide channel and the slide member; and another part of the platen unit guide channel and the slide member are disposed on a side of a printer frame.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	1
