PURPOSE: To enable the handling of the both of the cutform in various size and the continuous folding form by providing a cutform feeding mechanism and a continuous form feeding mechanism in the main frame of a device, and using a common pulse motor which rotates normaly and reversely as a driving source, and farther using a common carrying guide and a common exhaust port of each form.
CONSTITUTION: A hopper 2 and an insertion port of the continuous form 4 are provided in parallel with each other on the same surface of the main frame of a device. At the time of the continuous form mode, a pulse motor 5 drives to transmit the rotation work to the first tractor 20 and the second tractor 23 and carry the continuous form. At the time of the cutform mode, in the case that the continuous form is inserted to the second tractor 23, the pulse motor rotates to the reverse direction of the rotation at the time of ordinary carrying, and after moving the continuous form to the position near the first tractor 20 by the predetermined distance, the pulse motor again drives ordinarily to transmit the rotation work to a paper feeding roller 16, a take-in roller 11 and two pairs of feeding roller 9, 10, and the cutform 19 is carried to the printing unit and is exhausted from a common exhaust port 3a.
