Abstract:

An electronic calculator for viewing, printing, and registering checks includes a base member for storing a plurality of checks, a data entry assembly for entering alpha-numeric data into the checkbook, a display screen for visually displaying the entered data. The electronic checkbook also includes a printing assembly having a mobile print head for printing check information on the face of an individual check. A check feed mechanism feeds individual checks to be printed past the print means and operates in conjunction with the print means so that, as each individual check is fed past the print means, the print means concomitantly prints data on the face of the check. A microprocessor electrically communicates with the data entry assembly, the printing assembly, and the check feed mechanism to process the entered data and to cooperatively drive the print head and the check feed mechanism to produce alpha-numeric printed matter on the face of the check.
