Abstract:
1. A multifunction printing device comprising: a slip processing unit that processes slips; a continuous paper processing unit that processes continuous paper; and a device case in which the slip processing unit and the continuous paper processing unit are disposed; the slip processing unit comprising the continuous paper processing unit comprising the continuous paper processing unit being substantially surrounded by the slip conveyance path such that a width of the continuous paper is discharged from the continuous paper exit substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the U-shape; wherein the continuous paper conveyance path is formed with a conveyance direction of the continuous paper from the roll paper compartment to the continuous paper exit substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the U-shape of the slip conveyance path, and is an independent conveyance path that shares no conveyance path parts with the slip conveyance path; wherein when the device is set in a normal position on a level surface, the longitudinal axis of the U-shape is parallel to the level surface, a direction parallel to the level surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is the transverse axis, and a direction perpendicular to the level surface is the vertical axis, the entrance pocket and the exit pocket are both open at a top portion of the device case with respect to the vertical axis, the slip conveyance path is defined by a conveyance channel of a specific depth that is open at the top portion of the device case, the continuous paper exit is open at the top portion of the device case, and the roll paper compartment is open at the top portion of the device case when a roll paper compartment cover attached to the top portion of the device case is opened; wherein at least one of the slip print unit and the continuous paper print unit has an inkjet head, an ink tank loading unit to which an ink tank that stores ink supplied to the inkjet head is installed is disposed on a front side of the continuous paper conveyance path, and the ink tank loading unit is open at the top portion of the device case when an ink tank loading unit cover attached to the-top portion of the device case is opened; and wherein the roll paper compartment cover is an access cover disposed on the top portion of the device case that can open by pivoting at a back side thereof, the ink tank loading unit cover is an access cover disposed on the top portion of the device case that can open by pivoting at a front side thereof, and the continuous paper exit is formed between an edge of a front side of the roll paper compartment cover and an edge of a back side of the ink tank loading unit cover.
