<p>A ticket issuing machine (3) having a stocker (5) for containing a continuous form (6), a paper carrier device (40') for carrying the continuous form (6') supplied from the stocker (5) to an inlet of a carrier line (40), a paper separating device (1) for separating the continuous form (6) at a score thereof in the carrier line (40), and a printing/recording device (9) for printing or recording data on the continuous form (6). The paper separating device (1) includes a blade (16) retained so as to be movable toward and away from a score formed in the continuous form (6), which blade (16) has a rounded bursting portion (16a) adapted to face the score, and a blade driving mechanism (17) for driving the blade (16) so as to bring the blade (16) into abutment against the score for separation of the continuous form (6) at the score. Accordingly, the continuous form (6) can be reliably separated at the score with a small force.</p> |
