Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a printing device for business records in a cash register.

Generally, business records (hereinafter referred to as "journals") are required to be kept for a certain period of time. Conventionally, business records (hereinafter referred to as "journals") must be kept on the same roll paper as receipts (hereinafter referred to as "receipts"). , the journal was also printed and rolled up at the same time. In this conventional method, because each item was printed on a narrow roll of paper with a different line, the amount of roll paper used was large and the rolls quickly piled up. Not only is it a pain to organize piles of paper, but it also requires a large storage space, and what's more, if you want to check or use the records after a certain period of time, you have to rewind or roll them up. However, there were drawbacks such as requiring a lot of effort and effort.

The present invention has been made to solve these conventional drawbacks, and uses continuous paper, which has perforations on each page and is folded in a zigzag pattern, as the paper for recording. ′
-! In addition, instead of printing data each time, a certain amount of data is stored in memory, and the number of characters for one line on the continuous paper is increased as much as possible at a certain time, day, month, etc. After printing, it can be separated from the perforations and the edges can be bound like a normal document. By having such a configuration.
