Publication number: 20110057978Abstract: According to one embodiment, a printing apparatus includes a transverse adjusting mechanism and an abutting frame. The transverse adjusting mechanism moves a passbook in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction to make a first side of the passbook abut on the abutting frame while the passbook set to be inserted to a medium inlet is being received and conveyed. Accordingly, the transverse adjusting mechanism positions the passbook with respect to a printing region of a dot head, and retracts the abutting frame from a conveying path while a statement paper is being conveyed. The printing apparatus includes a controller to determine whether the first side of the passbook is placed inward from the abutting frame. The controller controls receiving and conveying the inserted passbook based on the determination result.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Applicant: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Hiromasa Harashina

Publication number: 20110057383Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medium processing apparatus includes a support axis and height-adjusting pins. The support axis movably supports a printer unit so that a front end of a conveying path is moved upward and downward. The height-adjusting pins are installed on a moving end of the printer unit. The height-adjusting pins are inserted to be guided into slit portions of brackets of a front panel by the sliding movement of any one of the front panel and the printer unit, thereby moving the printer unit around the axis and positioning the front end of the conveying path with respect to a medium inlet of the front panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Applicant: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Hiromasa Harashina
