A. that is installed in a drive motor.

Drive motor is by host service function.After driving motor rotates through the operation of main frame, be installed in the cam rotation on the S. A. of a drive motor, a cramp bar 351 is overcome the application of force of coil spring 353 and lifts, print head 129 is risen.After print head 129 rose to retreating position, main frame stopped a drive motor.

Under this state, the application of force of coil spring 353 is towards the directive effect that a cramp bar 351 is descended, even but this power acts on cam, and cam can not rotate yet.Therefore, need only not rotating cam of a drive motor, a cramp bar 351 just can not descend.That is, print head 129 remains on retreating position when a drive motor is in halted state.

And after driving motor rotated through the operation of main frame right overhead, cam was rotated, and the power that a cramp bar 351 is risen obtains removing.Therefore, a cramp bar 251 descends under the application of force of coil spring 353, and print head 129 gets into transport path 202.

Near print head 129, be provided with guiding roller 252,253 and guide finger 254 to colour band 251 channeling conducts.The colour band 251 that is wound on the supply side spool 255 passes through between guiding roller 252 and liner roll 219, between print head 129 and transport path 202, passes through, and between guide finger 254 and guiding roller 253, passes through, and is batched by winding off spindle 256.Winding off spindle 256 is by not shown direct motor drive.The colour band 251 that is wound on the supply side spool 255 is batched by winding off spindle 256, so the new part of colour band 251 constantly supplies to print head 129.

Card 3 behind the lettering is from distribution mouthful 261 distribution.

Action to above-mentioned card sender 1 describes.At first, like Fig. 7 and shown in Figure 11, filling paper in reel 2.This filling is carried out through after the reel of paper in reel 2 33 and main shaft 34 is chimeric paper in reel installation component 36 being installed on the anchor shaft 35.Under the state that guiding door 246 is opened, the peripheral end of paper in reel 2 passed and the 1st is taken into mechanism 5, ring mechanism 6 and the 2nd is installed on the cutting mechanism 8 after being taken into mechanism 7.

Close guiding door 246, push feeding switch (not shown), make respectively to be taken into roller 47,55 and to carry the electrical motor rotation.At this, several the cards that will be equivalent to the most peripheral of paper in reel 2 cut off successively and carry, and it is invalid and be taken into recoverer 14.This is because the outer peripheral face of paper in reel 2 is the magnetic face, for fear of this magnetic face trace or dirt and cause the cause of misoperation due to wound.To the withdrawal of this recoverer 14 is to carry electrical motor just then make card 3 after between the 2nd guide 29 and the 3rd guide 30 through making, and makes and carries the electrical motor counter-rotating, carries out via finder 117 and invalidated ticket conveying roller 118.

After reclaiming release, the 1st initial card 3 is in readiness for action.Thus, become the installation done state.Under this state, screw actuator 230 is in off-state, and the movable guide 209 of guide part 203 is opened.

After main frame sends card distribution command signal, carry the electrical motor rotation.Thus, the card 3 that is positioned at card standby portion 9 is carried on 159 → curve, 98 → the 2nd straight line conveying paths 160, the 1st straight line conveying path.Simultaneously, screw actuator is switched on operation, movable guide 209 closures of the guide part of opening 203.

This card 3 writes magnetic data through header record 123, reads magnetic data through reproducing head 124.At this, data read normal words, then card 3 is transported to the position of the print head 129 of lettering portion 12.Under this state, because movable guide 209 closures, even thereby card 3 curls or bending etc. can prevent that also the front end of card 3 from leaving transport path 202 and getting into the gap etc. of the front side of print head 129.

At this moment, after utilizing not shown lettering timer to detect card 3, main frame breaks off screw actuator 230, and movable guide 209 is opened.Simultaneously, main frame makes a drive motor action, makes print head 129 get into transport path 202.Thus, card 3 is carried out lettering.Card 3 behind the lettering is from card distribution mouthful 261 discharges.Main frame makes a drive motor action, and print head 129 is kept out of the way from the card transport path, and to the screw actuator making operation, makes movable guide closed.

When occurring when magnetic data reads because of the scar of card 3 or dust when unusual, make and carry the electrical motor counter-rotating detecting the wrong moment, card 3 is sent to recoverer 14 via finder 117.Thus, with having taken place, regains in the invalidated ticket stockpile device 121 by unusual card 3.

On the other hand, near the moment the 2nd the rear end of card arrives header record 123 in advance is taken into roller 55 and is rotated, and begins the distribution of next card.Therefore, the paper in reel 2 that is used to make next card 3 is sent to card standby portion 9 from cutting mechanism 8.This paper in reel 2 is cut off into the card 3 of specified length through action same as described above, in 9 standbies of card standby portion.

At this, when through the 2nd be taken into roller 55 rotation make ring 59 when shortening, ring mechanism 6 moves, the 1st is taken into roller 47 is rotated.Thus, ring 59 can be guaranteed the length stipulated all the time.

When being taken into issued card 3; Go out to insert the card 3 of distribution mouth 261 by not shown EJS sensor; Main frame makes each driven roller 229,228, pressure roller 204, driven roller 222 counter-rotatings, and lettering portion 12 is driven in the wrong direction, and is delivered to read-write portion 11; And then make the counter-rotating of conveying electrical motor, card 3 is sent to recoverer 14 via finder 117.At this moment, movable guide 209 closures of guide part 203 are even card 3 crooked or curling print head 129 gaps on every side that also can not get into can prevent that card 3 from stopping up, and can carry smoothly, and can prevent that the leading section of card 3 from breaking or bending.
