Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a printer for printing on a medium, and in particular, a desk-incorporated passbook voucher printer incorporated in a desk installed at a counter of a financial institution or the like for printing on a medium such as a passbook or a slip. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a passbook voucher printer that prints on a medium such as a passbook or a voucher, there is a desk-incorporated passbook voucher printer that is pre-installed in a desk installed at a window of a financial institution or the like. As a method of incorporating the passbook voucher printer into the desk, there is a method of mounting the passbook voucher printer so that the medium transport path is substantially horizontal to the writing surface of the desk.

Since a desk with a passbook slip printer is not used as a work space, a portion with a passbook slip printer is not used as a work space. Becomes
However, this work space has a display monitor and keyboard.
The space in which the operator can work was narrow because of the installation of the cords and the like.

Therefore, as a method for eliminating the above drawbacks,
By setting the medium setting stage, which is provided at the medium insertion / ejection port, for setting the medium to be lower than the working space of the desk, the side wall of the medium can also serve as the medium abutting portion where the side surface of the medium contacts. is there. If the media setting stage and the writing surface of the desk are flush, part of the housing cannot also serve as the media abutting part, so a separate media abutting part must be installed. Only the device protrudes in the direction of the work space of the desk, but if the medium abutment part is also used as the side wall of the housing, the work space can be widened as much as the medium abutment part is not installed. Met.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned conventional desk-mounted printer, since the medium setting stage is lower than the working space of the desk, that portion becomes a recess and the medium is projected. There is a problem that even if the work space is widened because the pad is not installed, the work space is narrowed by the recess. Further, when using a wide keyboard, the work space becomes narrower and the original function of the desk may be lost.

Since the size of the desk is fixed, the desk should be enlarged without changing the size of the passbook slip printer.
It was not possible to expand the work space.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a solution means provided by the present invention is a desk-mounted printer which is incorporated in a desk, prints on a plurality of kinds of inserted media, and ejects the medium. A plurality of insertion / ejection ports arranged side by side along the desk surface, each of which is connected to the insertion / ejection port, and each of which is connected to the insertion / ejection port, and which are inclined downward with respect to the desk surface, and each conveyance path. And a printing means for printing on the medium conveyed.

[0008]

Operation: A plurality of transport paths are juxtaposed according to the type of medium,
Since it is inclined downward with respect to the desk surface, the depth of the printer can be reduced.
