ABSTRACT:
There is described a record material feed mechanism for use in an electronic cash register for feeding a record member to a printing station wherein data is printed on print lines located on the record member during the operation of the cash register. The feed mechanism will automatically position each succeeding print line of the record member adjacent the printing station on successive printing operations of the cash register. Included in the feed mechanism are a pair of cam actuated gear segments which control the length of movement of the record member between a home position and a position adjacent the printing station in the cash register. During the feeding of the record member to the printing station, the gear segments are positioned in tandem to move the record member a predetermined length while in a feed-out operation, the segments are positioned in an overlap condition to move the record member a distance which is one print line less than the feed-in movement.
