Abstract
A printer unit 20 has a base frame 24 and a moving frame 26 supported thereon for rotation relative thereto so that the upper part of the moving frame can be inclined to the front of an installation-type transaction device. The moving frame 26 is provided with a bearing member 40 that supports a shaft of the rolled paper, a print mechanism section 46, an edge of paper insertion slot 44 for introducing the rolled-paper end into the print section, and an edge of paper discharge port 50a. The bearing member 40 has a rolled-paper-shaft acceptance port 40b that is opened to the rear of the moving frame, and the edge of paper insertion slot 44 is oriented to the rear of the moving frame. At maintenance and inspection time, the moving frame 26 is inclined forward, whereby the shaft acceptance port 40b and the edge of paper insertion slot 44 are oriented to the worker.
