ている。TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND THE PROBLEMS Conventionally, there have been devices capable of printing not only on long paper but also on slip paper that is wider than the width of the long paper. However, in order to insert the slip paper into the front surface of the platen, it is not possible to arrange a guide member to guide the side edges of the paper on the front surface of the platen, which causes the paper to meander. Additionally, slip paper has the disadvantage that it interferes with the tip of the floating printing head from the platen and moves laterally.

A carrier 4 holding a is slidably held. An ink ribbon 5 is attached to the tip of the print head 3.
A ribbon guide 6 is fixed to guide the ribbon. Furthermore, paper guides 9 are provided below the platen 1 to guide journal paper 7 and receipt paper 8, respectively. A bearing 12 that holds the shaft of the feed roller 11 in contact with the pinch roller 10 is held between the lower part of the platen 1 and a support portion 13 formed on the paper guide 9. On the right side of the platen 1, there is a guide surface 1 that guides the journal paper 7 toward the rear and upper part of the take-up shaft (not shown).
4 is formed, and blade holders 16 and 17 for the cutter 15 are provided on the upper left side. The paper guide 9 holds the lower edge of a paper presser 18 that presses the journal paper 7 and the receipt paper 8 against the platen 1.

This opening 22 is set to have a width substantially wider than the width of the receipt paper 8. Further, the upper edge of an elastic plate 23 having a width substantially narrower than the opening 22 is fixed to the blade receiver 17, and a guide member 24 smaller than the opening 22 is fixed to the lower part of the elastic plate 23. This guide member 24 is formed with guide surfaces 25 for guiding both side edges of the receipt paper 8. The stiffness of the elastic plate 23 is stronger than that of a single sheet of receipt paper 8, but when the receipt paper 8 gets jammed or the slip paper 26 is inserted, the stiffness of the elastic plate 23 can bend into the opening 22 due to the pressure. determined by strength. Furthermore, guide plate 1
9 has a plurality of protrusions 27 formed therein. Two of these projections 27 are located near both sides of the guide member 24, and the front surface of the projection 27 has an inclined surface 28 that slopes downward toward the platen 1 side.

and is printed on the receipt paper 8. Then, each time a receipt is issued, a solenoid (not shown) provided on the cutter mount 20 is energized to bring the stamp 21 into contact with the receipt paper 8, and then the receipt paper 8 is cut by the cutter 15. Since the journal paper 7 is wound up on the take-up shaft, it will not loosen in front of the platen 1. Since the receipt paper 8 is also guided by the guide surface 25, it does not meander.

くことがない。 Further, the guide member 24 protrudes from the front surface of the stamp pad 1a, but when the slip paper 26 is inserted from above between the stamp pad 1a and the guide plate 19, the elastic plate 23 is bent and the guide member 24 is inserted into the opening 2.
Since the slip paper 26 is retracted into the slot 2, there is no problem in inserting the slip paper 26. Then, the slip paper 26 is
7 approaches the front surface of the platen 1, and receives pressure from the guide member 24 from the inner surface due to the elasticity of the elastic plate 23. In particular, the inclined surface 28 of the protrusion 27 can help guide the slip paper 26 to the front surface of the platen 2 when it is pushed downward. In this way, the slip paper 26 is securely fixed and will not move laterally even when rubbed by the tip of the print head 3.

するものである。Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, the meandering of the paper can be prevented by the guide member,
The guide member protrudes from the front surface of the extended surface of the platen, and by providing the guide member on the elastic plate facing the opening formed in the front surface of the extended surface of the platen, the guide member and the elastic plate can be projected from the front surface of the extended surface of the platen. It is possible to insert wide slip paper close to the front of the platen by elastically retracting it into the opening, thereby preventing it from being rubbed by the leading edge of the printing area, and further utilizing the elasticity of the elastic plate. This has the advantage that the slip paper can be elastically fixed by the guide member and the protrusion of the guide plate.
