New receipt roll paper 1
However, there is a problem that the printer cover 22 needs to be large and the size of the entire apparatus also increases.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the present invention, the interval between two printers for journals and receipts is reduced during use, and the interval can be increased when refilling roll paper. , EC
The purpose is to reduce the size of the entire R.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, an ECR according to the present invention comprises a receipt printer unit arranged in front of a journal printer unit.
The journal printer unit is tilted rearward to provide an interval with the receipt printer unit, and the journal roll paper and the receipt roll paper are exchanged.

[0005] It is also possible to mount the printer of the journal printer unit, the journal winding unit for winding the printed journal paper on the journal holder, and replace the roll paper by tilting the journal holder backward. Good.

Further, a journal holder support for rotatably supporting the journal holder is provided, and the journal holder is rotated about the support shaft so as to be tilted backward.

A journal holder stopper mechanism is provided on the journal holder support so that the rotation of the journal holder is stopped at a required operating position or at a position tilted backward.

Note that a thermal printer is used for each printer of the journal and receipt printers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a main part of an embodiment of a cash register according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a receipt roll paper, 2 is a receipt printer, 3 is a printer stand of the printer 2, and 4 is a receipt. 5 is a journal roll paper, 6 is a journal printer, 7 is a printed journal paper, 8 is a journal take-up unit that winds up the journal paper 7, 9 is a journal drive motor, 10 is a journal holder, and 11 is a journal. Rotation axis of holder, 12 is stopper axis, 13 is journal holder support, 14 is slot, 15 is printer cover, 16 is rotation mechanism of printer cover 15, 17 is journal paper window, 18 is receipt cover, 19 and 20
Is a roll paper holder.

[0010] By the sales registration operation of the ECR, the printer 2
To print on the receipt roll paper 1 and the printer 6 on the journal roll paper 5, the receipt roll paper 1 is fed as a receipt 4, and the journal roll paper 5 is driven by a journal drive motor 9 for a journal winding paper It is wound up by the take-up unit 8. The journal holder 10 is pivotally supported by a journal holder support 13 by a journal holder rotating shaft 11, and is tilted forward (to the right in the drawing) so that the stopper shaft 12 stops at a position where it contacts the lowermost end of the elongated hole 14, not shown. It is fixed by a locking tool or the like. In addition,
The journal paper window 17 provided on the printer cover 15 is a window for confirming print contents.

To replenish (replace) each of the roll papers 1 and 5, the printer cover 15 is opened rearward (upper left in the drawing) (rotated with the rotation mechanism 16 as a support shaft). Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the journal holder 10 is lifted up (stopped at a position where the stopper shaft 12 comes into contact with the uppermost end of the elongated hole 14), and a new journal roll paper is removed. 5 is placed at a predetermined position on the roll paper holder 20, the leading end of the roll paper is passed through the printer 6, and is fixed to the take-up section 8 for a journal. , Pass the leading edge of the roll paper through the printer 2, open the receipt cover 18 if necessary, check it, return the journal holder 10 to its original position (the position in FIG. 1), Undo Rintakaba 15 and the receipt cover 18.

As described above, the journal roll paper 5 and the receipt roll paper 1 are brought close to each other, and the printer 6 for the journal is disposed at the upper position of the roll paper 1 for receipt. Can be compressed in the front-rear direction, and the size of the entire ECR can be reduced. The printer 2
And 6 include, for example, a thermal printer (each roll paper uses a thermal type for a thermal printer)
A dot impact printer (each roll paper uses a dot impact printer), or an ink jet printer (each roll paper uses an ink jet printer).

[0013]

As described above, according to the cash register of the present invention, the journal printer is rotated upward and the roll paper is exchanged. Therefore, the receipt printer and the journal printer are exchanged. Can be arranged close to each other in the front-rear position, so that the size of the printer cover does not increase and the overall size of the ECR can be reduced.
