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