Printer

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: A printer wherein printing on two slips at the same time on the occurrence of a double feed is prevented by changing the direction of the slips, which are advanced one by one by a kick roller, through 180° by use of guides having a U-turn type paper path. CONSTITUTION: Slips 20 set in a hopper 1' are advanced one by one by a kick roller 2', changed in their advancing direction through 180° while passing through a U-turn type paper path 23 arranged in the overlap portion between guides 21 and 22, guided by the guide 22, conveyed by a platen 4 and a pinch roller 5, and printed by a printing head 6. The printing is conducted on those faces of the slips 20 which contact the kick roller 2'; therefore, even on the occurrence of a double feed as indicated at 20A and 20B, printing is conducted only on the upper slip so that printing on two slips at the same time can be prevented.
