  • Patent number: 11926149
    Abstract: A printer includes a paper roll, a printing device, a paper cutting device, a paper output device, and a panel, which are disposed, from rear to front in sequence, on a frame. The printing device includes a printer seat on which a printer head, a paper delivering roller, and a guiding member are disposed. The guiding member forms a paper insertion gap between a guiding piece and a printer seat. The paper insertion gap can smoothly guide a front end of a paper sheet to be inserted downwards to contact with a paper delivering roller. Then, the guiding member pivots back to a positioned state. Thus, the paper sheet can be conveniently and rapidly installed. A paper guiding gap is formed between at least one guiding roller and the printer seat. The paper delivering roller can reliably pull the paper sheet to pass through a printer head for printing.

  • Patent number: 11813855
    Abstract: A barcode printer includes a frame on which a paper receiving device, a printing device, a cutting device, and a paper output device are disposed. The paper receiving device receives a plurality of printing papers which is interconnected and folded in a zigzag manner. A front edge of the uppermost printing paper is inserted downward into a paper inlet passage of the printing device. A paper delivering motor moves the uppermost printing paper forward to pass through a gap between a printer and a paper delivering roller. A printer is activated to print a barcode on a lower face of the uppermost printing paper. The front edge of the uppermost printing paper is moved to pass through the cutter and the paper output roller unit. The paper delivering motor is then stopped, and a rear edge of the uppermost printing paper is cut under operation of a paper output motor.

  • Patent number: 11551021
    Abstract: A counterfeit paper currency detector with a barcode reading function includes a casing unit receiving a delivering device, a driving device, a paper currency detection device, and a barcode reading device. The delivering device includes a passageway between an upper base and a lower base. The driving device drives a paper currency or a barcode sheet to pass through the passageway. When a paper currency passes through the passageway, a plurality of first paper currency detection units and a plurality of second paper currency detection units of the paper currency detection device examine whether the paper currency is genuine. When a barcode sheet passes through the passageway, a first reading module or a second reading module of the barcode reading device reads widths and spaces of a plurality of bars on the barcode sheet.
