A printer unit has a base frame and a moving frame supported thereon for rotation relative thereto so that the upper part of the moving frame can be inclined to the front of an installation-type transaction device. The moving frame is provided with a bearing member that supports a shaft of the rolled paper, a print mechanism section , an edge of paper insertion slot for introducing the rolled-paper end into the print section, and an edge of paper discharge port . The bearing member has a rolled-paper-shaft acceptance port that is opened to the rear of the moving frame, and the edge of paper insertion slot is oriented to the rear of the moving frame. At maintenance and inspection time, the moving frame is inclined forward, whereby the shaft acceptance port and the edge of paper insertion slot are oriented to the worker.
