Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a recording device with a manual cutter applicable to a facsimile device, a printer device, and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a facsimile apparatus or the like in which an automatic cutter is not installed and only a manual cutter is installed in a recording paper outlet, the last page of the discharged recording paper is cut by a manual cutter. It was separated from the roll-shaped recording paper provided inside.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-described conventional apparatus, when a plurality of originals are printed, if the operator is near the apparatus, the recording paper can be cut for each page. In the absence, the recording paper is continuously discharged by the length of the number of originals.

In this case, since the discharged recording paper can be cut only at the last page, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to cut the recording paper for each page.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording apparatus that can easily cut to a desired length by a manual cutter even when a plurality of original recording sheets are continuously discharged.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, as described in claim (1), a roll-shaped recording paper and a recording unit capable of continuously outputting document information on the recording paper are provided. In a recording apparatus having a manual cutter installed at a recording paper discharge port for cutting the discharged recording paper, the last page portion of the recording paper discharged by the manual cutter can be cut,
Further, an external manual cutter is provided at a part of the outside of the apparatus main body in the recording paper discharge direction of the recording paper discharge opening so as to be able to cut an intermediate page portion of a plurality of continuously discharged recording papers. As described in the item (2), the configuration according to the item (1) is characterized in that guide means for guiding the recording paper discharged from the recording paper discharge port to an external manual cutter is provided.

(Operation) According to the means described in claim (1), even if a plurality of sheets of recording paper are continuously discharged, a plurality of sheets of recording paper are provided by the external manual cutter provided outside the recording paper discharge side of the apparatus main body. Any length of the intermediate page of the recording paper (for example, every page)
The last page of the recording paper is cut off from the recording paper in the apparatus by a manual cutter at a recording paper discharge port.

According to the means described in claim (2), the discharged recording paper is guided to the external manual cutter by the guide means, so that the recording paper can be easily cut.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a facsimile apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is an operation unit provided on the upper surface of an apparatus main body 2, 3 is a recording paper outlet, and 4 is a recording paper outlet 3. The provided manual cutters 5 and 5 are external manual cutters provided on the recording unit cover 6 on the side of the apparatus main body 2.
