ABSTRACT:
A compact, easy-to-maintain printing apparatus features both receipt printing and journal printing and is capable of protecting data. Receipt printer 70 and journal printer 60 are mounted on a bottom housing 31 of the printing apparatus. Journal printer 60 comprises a separate chassis 65 and is removably mounted on a bottom housing 31. Two top housings 71 and 61 are provided, one hinged to the bottom housing 31, the other hinged to the chassis 65. The journal printer 60 is mounted behind the receipt printer 70 and the pivot for both covers is located near the rearward end of the bottom housing 31. When opened, top housing 71 for the receipt printer 70 rotates over journal printer 60, thereby assuring a wide open area above receipt printer 70. Top housing 61 of the journal printer 60 can be locked to bottom housing 31 by a keyed locking mechanism 81, thereby preventing improper operation of the journal printer 60 during maintenance.
