ABSTRACT:
A printing apparatus is provided for printing on a document or bank passbook which has affixed thereto a magnetic stripe on which information with respect to the print operation is written and/or read by a magnetic head scanning assembly. The printing apparatus includes a document holder for accommodating the document to be printed on, and an automatic line positioning device in the form of a stepper motor to move the holder, and accordingly the document, to the line to be printed on as recorded on the magnetic stripe, at which time the platen is advanced against the document, and the data printed on the line by the print head. The magnetic head scanning assembly at beginning-of-stripe position is retracted from the magnetic stripe on the document, and when actuated, advances the head to contact the magnetic stripe to read data on the stripe. Having obtained print line information from the magnetic stripe, the passbook is automatically positioned at the proper print line by the stepper motor, the platen is advanced, and the data is printed thereon. The platen is retracted and the passbook is returned to the home position, where the platen is again advanced, and the magnetic head scanner assembly writes updated information on the magnetic stripe. Printing apparatus is also provided with an aperture in the document receiving means which positions the document in the holder, the document receiving means having an aperture therein to accommmodate the movement of the magnetic scanning head assembly. The aperture is provided with pivoted fingers which prevent the document from hanging up in the aperture or on the platen, and insure that the document is guided into the holder.
