Abstract (en)
A dual head, three station high speed printer for recording retail transactions comprises a single worm driven carriage (40) which supports two side-by-side print heads (36, 38). A tear bar is positioned to impart a 90 DEG change in the orientation of the receipt tape (16) after printing, and the journal tape take-up roll (24) imparts a 180 DEG change in the orientation of the journal tape (14) after printing, whereby both tapes are immediately readable after advancement beyond the printing station. Carriage position detectors (46, 47) are used to increase cycle speeds by eliminating carriage travel across the journal tape (14) when it is not being printed, and pinch rollers (48, 49, 52, 54) which drive the tapes are separable in order to facilitate replacement of the tapes.
