Abstract

Abstract An accounting book automatic entering device, by which, when it is used for business processing in an accounting system, linked with an output device of a computer, trade data can be recorded in lines directly succeeding the last line of the preceding recording also on the rear side of book sheets of all the relating books and they can be conserved in the form of books after recording only by inputting one assortment so that they can be accessed at any time. A book holding shelf driving device locates a shelf of a book holding shelf corresponding to a shelf code, based on the shelf code in positional data stored in a memory device and an entry page selecting device driving section drives an entry page selecting device so as to select a specified book to fix it by means of a book selecting mechanism, to open the book at a target page by means of a page turning mechanism and for a printer to record output data on that page. At this time, entry position on an entry book sheet is recognized, depending on the number of lines, in which the output data have been already entered, and the printer records the output data in lines directly succeeding the last line of the preceding recording. When recording is terminated, the entry page selecting device closes the book and returns it to its original position in the book holding shelf.
