recording device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To prevent imperfect separation of recording paper when separating the platen roller from the recording head and to make smooth the paper feed by slightly returning the leading edge of a recording paper cut through a cutter and stopping in a guide plate. CONSTITUTION:Upon driving of platen roller 5, the leading edge of recording roll paper 12 is positioned at the start-of-recording position. Then a recording head 4 is driven to start recording onto the recording paper 12. Upon stoppage of feeding of recording paper 12, a cutter 6 is driven simultaneously to cut the recording paper 12. Here, a platen roller 5 is rotated reversely after stoppage of cutter 6, to return the leading edge of newly cut recording paper 12 to the position slightly departed from the cutter 6. Consequently, even if the platen roller 5 is separated from the recording head 4 for the purpose of maintenance, the leading edge of the recording paper 12 is hooked to a guide plate 11 to stop the recording paper 12 onto the carrying path without adhering to the platen roller 5.
