Abstract
In a multifunction printer with a journal device (13) for recording of data processed in the printer for purposes of data securing or, respectively, documentation, at least one print unit (6) is provided for the printing of the input data. In addition, in most cases, further printer modules (9), coordinated to a respective printer function, are furnished. In order to solve the space requirements of a space-volume-requiring journal device (13), and in order to achieve the smallest possible dimensions of the overall printer, a journal device (13) is coordinated to a form print unit (15) or to an additional sales-receipt print unit (11), which journal device (13) comprises a secondary controller (16), selectable from the pull-in controller (3) of the main platen (2), with an interface (17) and with a data storage memory (18), where the input data are permanently filed in the data storage memory (18) and are recallable and are printable with the aid of a form print unit (15) or of the sales-receipt print unit ( 11).
