a) is sent from the conveyance path (27) to the conveyance path (29) and handed over to the customer.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional statement printer device as described above uses printing paper (
When 1) is loaded and set in the cassette case (2), it will remain in that state for several hours or until the next day until the device starts operating, so it will not curl around the guide roller (3) and driven pulley (6). The statement slip (1a), which is crumpled and curled during operation, is placed in the receiving box (3).
2) or pass it on to the customer.

Therefore, not only is it unsightly and difficult to see, but if the curl becomes strong due to the environment (changes in temperature and humidity), trouble may occur when the statement slip (1a) is being transported.
In addition, various problems have arisen, such as the intake box (32) quickly becoming full, requiring the use of a larger capacity one.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a statement printer device that is equipped with means for removing curls generated on statement slips.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The statement printer device according to the present invention includes two sets of detection means for detecting the position of the statement slip in the conveyance device, and a system that corresponds to the output signals of these two sets of detection means. The apparatus is provided with means for reciprocating the statement slip.

[Operation] The statement sheet cut by the cocutter is conveyed by a conveying device, and when the leading end reaches one of the detection means, it is stopped by the signal. The statement slip is then conveyed in the opposite direction, and when the rear end reaches the other detection means, it is stopped by the signal.

By repeating such reciprocating conveyance a plurality of times, the curl of the statement slip is corrected and the statement slip is discharged to the outside.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining the present invention, and the present invention will be explained below with reference to FIG. 2.

It should be noted that the operations from step S-1 to step S-5 are the same as those of the conventional method, so the explanation thereof will be omitted.

When the cutter (13) has finished cutting the statement slip (1a), the operating section sets the number of repetitions of the statement slip (la) in the control section (step S-10). This number of times is appropriately selected depending on the curl state of the statement slip (1a). Next, the conveyance motor (22) is driven to convey the statement slip (1a) (step S-11). When the tip of the statement slip (1a) reaches the optical sensor (25), the light receiving element (25b) sends a detection signal to the control unit (step S-12), and upon receiving this signal, the control unit activates the transport motor (22). ) is stopped (step S-13). Next, the transport motor (2
2) is reversed to convey the statement slip (1a) in the opposite direction. In step S-14), when the rear end of the statement slip (1a) reaches the position of the optical sensor (24), the light receiving element (24b) is detected and a detection signal is output to the control section (step S-
15). The control unit that receives this signal is the transport motor (22)
(step s-18). In this way, the statement slip (1a) is reciprocated between the optical sensors (24) and (25) a set number of times (step S-17).
.

When the set number of reciprocating movements are completed, the transport motor (22) is driven to transport the statement slip (1a) in step S-18). When the tip reaches the position of the optical sensor (25), the light receiving element (25a) outputs the detection signal (step S-19) and sends it to the control section. When the control unit receives this signal, it controls the conveyance motor (22) to the statement slip (in Figure 2).
In step S-20), the statement slip (1a) is driven for a time corresponding to the length g to be transported, and is discharged into the receiving box (32), and the transport motor (22) is stopped. .

In this way, the curled statement slip (1a) is reciprocated several times within the conveyance device (15) through the conveyance roller (21) which bends the curl in the opposite direction to the curl, so that the curl is corrected. It is discharged as a flat statement slip (1a).

In addition, when giving the statement slip (la) to the customer, use the blade (
30) at the dotted line position in Figure 3, and insert the statement slip (la).
After reciprocating several times to correct the curl, the transport motor (
22), the statement slip (1a) is transferred to the conveyance path (29).
).

The above explanation shows the case where the number of repetitions is set after cutting the statement slip (1a) with the cutter (13), but if it is clear that curling has occurred, set the number of repetitions before starting. May be set.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, the present invention corrects curls that occur in the statement slip by reciprocating the statement slip within the conveyance device, so that the statement printer device can be used for a long time. Even if you don't use it for a while, you can always get a bill with no curls.

Therefore, not only can a statement slip with a good appearance be obtained, but also there is no trouble in transportation and it is convenient to store.
