ンタ１の動作を制御する。Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a printer 1 having a continuous paper storage unit according to this embodiment has a cutter 3 for cutting the continuous paper 2, an upper and lower two-part type upper printing unit 4 and a lower printing unit 5 for printing on the continuous paper 2. And a continuous paper storage unit 6 for storing the continuous paper 2. The sheet storage unit 6 includes a detachable box-shaped sheet cassette 7, a lid 8 having a hinge at the lower front portion of the sheet cassette 7, and a leaf spring 9 attached to the lid 8 at two points. The paper storage unit 6 is provided with a continuous paper discharge port 10 in a gap between the sheet cassette 7 and the lid 8 so that the continuous paper 2 is extracted from the discharge port 10 side of the continuous paper 2. The leaf spring 9 attached to the lid 8 has a parallelogram shape with two fixed ends 11 and 12. That is, due to the elasticity of the leaf spring 9 and the shape of the leaf spring 9 capable of moving the A-side surface 13 in parallel to the front and back, the stack of continuous papers 2 is urged in one direction without being affected by the thickness of the bundle. It becomes possible to do. Figure 2
(A) to (e) sequentially show the states of the continuous paper 2 in the paper cassette 7 when the continuous paper 2 is fed. As shown in FIG. 2, the fixed end 11 of the leaf spring 9 is located at a position above the bottom surface of the paper cassette 7 by a certain distance, so that the space 14 is formed below the leaf spring 9 even when the continuous paper 2 is stored. The space 14 allows the continuous paper 2 to be reversed in the paper cassette 7. The control unit and power supply 16 control the operation of the printer 1.

The operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. The continuous paper 2 is provided with perforations at regular intervals so as to be easily separated by cutting, and is folded by the perforations. This stack of continuous papers 2 is inserted by opening the lid 8 of the paper cassette 7 and closing the lid 8 with the first continuous paper 2 exposed. Next, the upper printing unit 4 is opened and the paper cassette 7 is inserted into the printer 1. Since the first continuous paper 2 is out of the paper cassette 7, the continuous paper 2 is set in the upper printing unit 4 and the lower printing unit 5 at the same time when the paper cassette 7 is set in the printer 1. After this,
The upper printing section 4 is closed and printing preparation is completed. A cutter 3 having a sharp cutting edge is provided in front of the printing units 4 and 5, and the continuous paper 2 printed by the printing units 4 and 5 is provided.
Stops when the perforations 15 come to the position of the cutter 3, and the operator pulls the continuous paper 2 to cut the continuous paper 2 at the perforations 15.
