When the control circuit 17 receives this signal, it drives the transport roller pairs 2 to 5 to take the circulation passbook 9A into the device, and moves the circulation passbook 9A through the printing unit 24 in the conveyance path 23 while holding the circulation passbook 9A. transport in the direction.

During this transportation, the page mark 2 of the distribution passbook 9A
6 is optically scanned by a detector 10, this information is amplified and waveform-shaped by an amplifier 18, and set in a register 19. Furthermore, the information on the magnetic stripe 27 of the circulation passbook 9A is read by the magnetic head 11, and among this information, the number of pages to be printed and the printed line number are transmitted via the write/read control circuit 16. It is sent to register 20 and set.

In this state, the arithmetic circuit 21 checks whether the currently opened and inserted page of the circulation passbook 9A is the page to be printed. That is, the page number read from the page mark 26 and set in the register 19 and the page number read from the magnetic stripe 27 and set in the register 20 are compared in the arithmetic circuit 21. If the comparison results in a match, the arithmetic circuit 21 instructs the control circuit 17 to set the line next to the printed line number set in the register 20 immediately below the print head 8.

If the comparison results in a mismatch, the end user is guided by display guidance or the like to open the correct page and reinsert the page.

Upon receiving the instruction, the control circuit 17 drives the transport roller pairs 2 to 5 to feed the circulation passbook 9A to a predetermined position and then stop the transport roller pairs. When the distribution passage 1119A is positioned and stopped,
Under the control of a print control unit (not shown), the circulation passbook 9A
Print information is printed by the print head 8 on the corresponding line.

When printing for one line is completed, the circulation passbook 9A is line-broken by one line under the control of the control circuit 17. Thereafter, printing is performed line by line in the same manner.

In parallel with this printing operation, the printed line number in the register 20 is updated by the arithmetic circuit 21 every time one line is printed.

When all the information to be printed has been printed, the conveyance roller pairs 2 to 5 are driven under the control of the control circuit 17, and the magnetic stripe 27 of the circulation passbook 9A is scanned by the magnetic helad 11. As a result, the write/read control circuit 16
The latest updated information of the register 20, such as the printed page number and the last printed line information, is written on the magnetic stripe 27.

When the above-mentioned printing and updating of the magnetic stripe 27 are completed, the circulation passbook 9A is transferred to the conveyance path 2 by the conveyance roller pairs 2 to 5.
3 and is discharged from the passbook insertion slot 1 to the outside.

If the last line is reached during the above printing operation and it becomes necessary to change the page of the passbook in order to print the remaining information, the arithmetic port 21 instructs the control circuit 17 to change the page of the circulation passbook 9A. Instruct to change. This page changing operation is detailed in Japanese Patent Application No. 147240/1988 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 35963/1982) proposed earlier by the present applicant, so please refer to that.

Next, a case will be described in which the number of print margin lines of the circulation passbook 9A inserted through the passbook insertion slot 1 reaches a predetermined value, such as when there are no more print margin lines, and there is still information to be printed.

In this case, the passbook handling device of this embodiment automatically issues a new passbook with a "delivery is a seal" stamp, as described below.

In the register 20, the page number currently being printed and the printed line number are set at the time of each process progress. The arithmetic circuit 21 constantly calculates and monitors the number of printable margin lines remaining up to a predetermined line on the last page of the circulation passbook 9A from the page number and printed line number in the register 20, and monitors the remaining printable margin lines. When the number of blank lines reaches "0" and there is still information to be printed, a command to issue a new bankbook is issued to the control circuit 17.

Hereinafter, the operation of the new passbook issuing section 25 will be explained in detail.

The control circuit 17 performs the following processing upon receiving a command to issue a new passbook.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, transport roller pairs 2 to 5 are driven to place the used circulation passbook 9B whose printable margin line number has reached "zero" at a position where it is held between only the transport roller pair 6A. That is, it is fed to the evacuation path 23A and evacuated to a predetermined position, or it is discharged to the recovery section 60 and recovered into the apparatus.

In addition, before the used circulation passbook 9B is evacuated to the evacuation path 23A, the information recorded on the magnetic stripe 27 of the used circulation passbook 9B is removed by the magnetic head 11 in order to prevent reuse. It is erased or rewritten with specific information that cannot be reused.

As described above, when the evacuation of the used circulation passbook 9B is completed, the control circuit 17 moves the guide plate 29, which had separated the new passbook feeding path 28 and the passbook transport path 23, as shown in FIG. Drive means (not shown) allow the "open"
state, and the new bankbook supply path 28 and the bankbook transport path 23 are communicated with each other. By rotating the new passbook feed-out roller 30 in the direction of the arrow and at the same time rotating the transport roller pairs 3 to 5 in the passbook discharging direction, the unused passbook is removed from the hopper 31 storing the unused passbook. One passbook 32 is fed to the passbook transport path 23.

After feeding out the unused passbook 32 to the passbook conveyance path 23, the control circuit 17 stops the rotation of the new passbook feeding roller 30 at a predetermined timing, and at the same time stops the rotation of the guide plate 2.
9 is returned to its original "open" state, and the new passbook feeding path 28 and the passbook transport path 23 are separated again.

The unused passbook 32 fed into the passbook conveyance path 23 is fed to a predetermined position of the printing section 24 by being held between the conveyance roller pairs 6 to 3 according to a command from the control circuit 17, and is then conveyed by the print head 8 and the platen 7. As shown in FIG. 3, store name 349, store number 359, location number 379, name 38, etc. are printed on the spine 33 of the unused passbook 32. At this time, when the control circuit 17 receives a command from the register 20 to continue issuing a new passbook from the previous circulation passbook 9A, the control circuit 17 issues a new passbook from the center file (not shown) via the external CPU. Using the relevant account number and subject code of the passbook 9A as keywords, information such as store name 9 store number 1 name is sent and stored in the memory.

After the above process is completed, the control circuit 17 feeds the unused bankbook 32 to the bankbook automatic page opening unit 50, and the unused bankbook 32 is released from the grip between the transport roller pair 5 and the transport roller pair 5. Feeding is stopped in a state where it is held only by 4 (see Fig. 1).

Then, the shutter 42 is opened around the fulcrum 41 by a driving means (not shown), and at the same time,
The operation of turning over the spine 33 of the unused passbook 32 is started. FIGS. 4(a) to 4(g) show details of this operation.

As shown in FIG. 4(A), when the unused passbook 32 is stopped at a predetermined position in the automatic passbook page opening section 50, the shutter 42 is opened around the fulcrum 41 as shown in FIG. 4(B). It is opened in the direction of arrow 01 by means of a drive means. Next, as shown in FIG. 4(c), while the suction cup 92 is oscillated by a driving means (not shown), the arrow θ2
It is pushed down in the direction and adsorbed to the spine 33 of the unused passbook 32. In this state, the driving means (not shown) is driven again to move the suction cup 92 as shown in FIG. 4(d).
By pulling up in the θ□ force direction, the spine 33 and inner paper 43 of the unused passbook 32 are completely separated.

In this state, the control circuit 17 controls the transport roller pairs 4 to 4.
6 and feeds the unused passbook 32 in the direction of arrow x1. This feeding operation causes the back cover 3 of the unused passbook 32 to
The other inner sheets 43 and the back spine cover 33A except for 3 are held between the pair of transport rollers 5, but only the back cover 33 is held by the suction cup 92.
Since the passbook 32 is lifted upward by the pair of transport rollers 5, it becomes the state shown in FIG. and middle paper 43. Separation from the back cover 33A progresses, and finally the state shown in FIG. 4(F) to FIG.

In addition, in Figures 4 (a) to (g) shown above,
Air suction by the suction cup 92 is performed at a predetermined timing.

As described above, in the automatic passbook closing section 50, the spine of the closed unused passbook 32 is turned over, and the pages of the closed unused passbook 32 are opened. Incidentally, the operation of opening the inner pages 43 is basically the same as the operation of turning over the spine 33 described above.

Here, the control circuit 17 closes the open shutter 42 in the direction of arrow θ2 (see FIG.
arrow X, stops feeding in the force direction.

Then, in order to feed the unused passbook 32 with the spine 33 opened to the printing unit 24 again, the conveyance roller pairs 6 to 3 are driven and stopped at a predetermined position, and then As shown in Figure 5, the back side 33B of the spine 33 of the unused passbook 32
Then, print the endpaper. The items printed on the back cover may differ slightly depending on the system configuration, but for example, in a general account passbook, name 38, store number 35, etc. Type of deposit 609 Locus number 37. Tax category 61゜Maximum amount 62. Branch name 34. A telephone number 64 and the like are printed by the printing unit 24.

In the passbook handling device of this embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned printing, the handling bank branch stamp 65 and the customer's registration stamp (so-called "notification is stamp") 66 shown in FIG. 5 are also affixed. Its biggest feature is that it automatically processes and automatically issues new passbooks.

This automatic processing is performed by the following procedure.

First, as shown in FIG. 6(a), the end user's registration mark is sequentially scanned in the direction of the arrow X by an optical character scanning means, for example, an image scanner, and this scanning information is shown in FIG. 6(b). As shown, the data is edited into a dot matrix and stored in memory. Registered seal information made up of this dot matrix is filed in a database in correspondence with account numbers or PIN numbers, and when necessary, using the account number or PIN as a keyword, it can be retrieved from the database using the dot matrix. The configured registered seal stamp information file is called up, and the printing section 24 stamps (prints) the file using a vermilion ink ribbon.

Therefore, once the end user has completed the seal registration procedure, there is no need to bring the seal from then on, and even when issuing a new passbook, high-speed automatic stamping processing is possible without the need for manual stamping work. This will result in complete automation of new passbook issuance processing, faster processing, and improved service.

As described above, when the endpaper printing process for the unused passbook 1132 is completed, the control circuit 17 feeds the unused passbook 32 to the passbook automatic page opening section 50, opens a predetermined page, and first passes the paper through the conveyance roller. Used circulation passbook 9 temporarily stored in 6A
The remaining and carryover printing information from B is transferred to the unused passbook 32.
In this case, of course, if the account is a passbook that has multiple subjects such as a general account passbook and a regular deposit,
There is a page change operation of the inner paper in the middle, and all the printed information that should be written from both subjects of Ryutsutsu 119A is now in the unused passbook 32.
It will be reprinted and printed.

When all necessary print information has been transferred from the used circulation passbook 9B to the unused passbook 32, the control circuit 17 drives the transport roller pairs 3 to 5, and at the same time transfers the information via the magnetic head write/read control circuit 16. Then, on the magnetic stripe 27 of the unused passbook 32, necessary information from the magnetic stripe 27 of the used distribution passbook 9B, such as fixed information such as account number, PIN 2 passbook subject code information, etc., is reproduced, and the printed page The magnetic head 11 causes the magnetic head 11 to newly write variable information such as information and printed line information.

When the above series of processing operations are completed, the unused passbook storage section 2
The unused passbook 32 fed to the passbook transport path 23 in a closed state from 5 becomes a newly issued passbook that is automatically issued continuously from the circulating passbook 9A.

At this point, the control circuit 1f drives the transport roller pairs 2 to 6 and 6A in the passbook ejection direction to eject the newly issued passbook first and then the used circulation passbook 9B into the passbook insertion slot 1. , and return it to the customer. Prior to this return, the control circuit 17 sends a message such as a known voice guidance (not shown) such as, ``Your bankbook is full, so we have automatically issued a new bankbook. We ask customers to make transactions using the new passbook.Please note that you will no longer be able to make transactions using the old passbook.''Inform customers of this issue and guide them to avoid confusion. .

According to the above embodiment, when a new passbook is automatically issued following the circulation passbook according to the fullness information of the circulation passbook, 1
The two printing means enable not only printing on the spine and inner paper, but also stamping, and completely automatic processing of new passbook issuance is achieved.

In addition, in the page opening section, not only can you change the inner pages, but you can also flip the spine cover with high reliability.
Since the unused passbook storage section can store unused passbooks in a closed state, it also has the effect of making the entire device more compact and improving operability when replenishing unused passbooks.
