Self receipting continuous stationery for point-of-sale terminal

摘要

In a point-of-sale terminal wherein continuous stationery is fed from a fanfold stack by friction drive to be printed, a receipt portion removed, and the residual continuous record stored in a record, fanfold stack, the stationery comprises a base ply having a removable ply affixed thereon by a pair of glue lines outboard of a pair of longitudinal perforated lines for removing an edge strip having sprocket hole lines and inboard of the sprocket holes. Transverse separation lines are provided near the folds in the base ply. The separation lines can be perforated lines, cut right through, or chemically weakened in the removable ply. The second illustrated embodiment of the invention discloses a second transverse separation line spaced away from the first transverse separation line and the part of the removable ply intermediate therebetween affixed to the base ply to prevent the tearing of one receipt from initiating the tearing of a receipt in a following transaction record. Where the transverse separation lines are completely through-penetrative of the removable ply initiation of the tearing of another receipt portion by the tearing of a first is similarly prevented. The continuous stationery disclosed is resistant to ply separation by over-vigorous friction drive between opposed rollers.
