Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for printing on receipt forms or the like with a one-line printing mechanism. In order also to be able to print the form with a number of lines, this is gripped firmly on a sliding carriage and the carriage is moved along into different line positions on the printing mechanism. A mechanical control mechanism with a cam plate serves for driving the sliding carriage. The closed cam plate makes possible a control in the retraction and extension direction with a corresponding rotation of the cam plate. The exact positioning of the sliding carriage is done by a ratchet in the control mechanism. An electronic control takes care of an automatic running of one printing operation.
