Two types of page-turnover units are provided: a page-turnover unit for handling a bankbook with left-to-right turning in which printing is performed perpendicularly to its spine; and a page-turnover unit for a bankbook with top-to-bottom turning in which printing is performed parallel to its spine, and page-turnover units of both types are detachable from the printer main body. Either one of the page-turnover units is selectively connected to the main body. <IMAGE>
