The driving force of the bill receiving / dispensing mechanism unit 203 is transmitted via a gear 213 and a shaft 214 of a driving force transmitting unit 212 provided in parallel with the cash transport unit 209, and the push plate driving shaft 2
15, the bill pushing plate 216, the bill feeding section 217, and the bill transport belt 218 of the cash transport section 209 are driven, and the replenishment bills 219 in the portable cassette 210 for exclusive use of replenishment / collection are fed out by the bill feeding section 217. Is replenished into the banknote pay-in / pay-out mechanism 203 from the cash pay-in / pay-out port 208 by the banknote transfer belt 218. Reference numeral 218 denotes a supplementary banknote on the banknote transport belt, and 221 denotes a supplementary banknote refilled into the banknote depositing / dispensing mechanism from the cash slot 208.

After the setting, the surrounding situation can be immediately watched for danger prevention.

FIG. 4 shows a processing procedure from the start of bill replenishment to the end of bill replenishment.

In the automatic teller machine 200, a situation in which the bill in the bill cassette approaches an empty state and cash replenishment is required occurs (300). Portable cassette 210
The replenisher with the key approaches and changes the touch panel screen using the staff key, and the replenishment / collection processing screen is displayed (30).
