Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial field of application) This invention relates to a slip cassette case to be attached to a portable terminal device used in meter reading for electricity, gas, water, etc., deposit operations, deposit and withdrawal operations by sales representatives of financial institutions, ticket issuing operations in transportation vehicles, product management operations in supermarkets, etc.

(Conventional technology) Conventional on-site document creation work, such as electrical,
In the majority of meter reading operations for gas, etc., sales staff read the meters at the locations they visited and recorded the amount used each time on a slip by hand.

Recently, as shown in Figure 4, an input operation section 2 in which a large number of calculator-style input buttons 1, ... are arranged, and an input operation section 2, which is used to print on a slip instead of handwriting on the slip, has been developed. A portable terminal device _T0 having a display section 3 for displaying a screen, a printer section 4 for printing input data as output, and an input storage section (not shown) has come into use.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the portable terminal T ₀ shown in FIG.
To carry out meter reading operations, before meter reading, a document D ₀ consisting of three sheets, an invoice, a receipt, and a sales slip, must be prepared.
Insert the slip D 0 into the slip insertion slot 33 of the portable terminal T ₀ , use the feed knob 36 to turn the slip feed roller (not shown) that is coaxial with the feed knob 36 , set the slip D ₀ in the printer section 4 , and then display it. While looking at Section 3, operate the calculator-style input section 2 to print the necessary information on three slips at the same time, hand over the invoice to the person you are visiting, and use the other two slips for later collection and tabulation management. In addition to being used for business purposes, the data entered through the input operation section 2 is stored in the input storage section and can be output as needed, so a set of three slips _D0 can be sent to each destination. It is a troublesome task to take out the document from another location, insert it into the slip insertion slot 33 of the portable terminal _T0 , set it in the printer section 4, and then operate the portable terminal _T0 .
