[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, in the passbook slip printer with the above configuration, as shown in FIG. A state in which the tip end 27a of the passbook is lifted by the waist of the center hold part 27b of the passbook. When inserting a passbook, make sure that the tip 27a of the passbook hits the suction roller 8 as shown in Figure 3. Or, due to the frictional force generated between the surface of the suction roller 8 and the passbook tip 27a, There were times when I couldn't insert my passbook smoothly. Also, when inserting a passbook, the tip of the passbook In addition to the curling of the portion 27a, this curling also causes a jam. there were.

[0013] To solve the above problem, conventionally the suction roller 8 is an idle roller that is not driven. By doing so, the friction force between the roller surface and the tip of the passbook is reduced by the rotation of the idle roller. A method was devised to reduce the burden of inserting a passbook.

[0014] However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional example in which the suction roller 8 is an idle roller, the new When a bankbook is inserted, as shown in Figure 5, the number of times the bankbook is opened and closed is reduced and the center hold is reduced. Because the part is strong, the rear end 27c of the passbook is turned up in the direction of closing the passbook. There was a drawback that the passbook could not be transported into the device.

[0015] If the media is conveyed between rollers, both rollers that sandwich the media Compared to the case where one roller is an idle roller and the other roller is When driven only by the roller, the feed force, which is the force used to convey the medium, decreases significantly. The same applies to the above-mentioned conventional example in which the suction roller 8 is an idle roller. As the feed force decreased, the rear end 27c turned up in the direction of closing the passbook. The cause was that the feed force to inhale the new passbook could no longer be obtained. .

[0016] This invention allows you to insert a passbook whose tip is raised by the waist of the center hold part. It reduces the load when entering the passbook without reducing the feeding power of the passbook, and has excellent operability. The purpose is to provide a device with improved performance.

[0017]

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention is applied to passbook printers near the feed roller installed in the passbook insertion section. It is equipped with an insertion guide.

[0018]

[Effect]

By providing an insertion guide near the feed roller provided in the passbook insertion section, When inserting a passbook whose tip is raised by the waist of the center hold part, This makes it possible to reduce the load on the bankbook without reducing its feeding power.
