Then, it is confirmed whether the deposit safe 18 is empty, and when it is not empty, the operation of taking out the banknote A2 from the deposit safe 18 is restarted,
By repeating the above series of operations, the bills
A2 is loaded.

The above operation is repeated, and when it is confirmed that the bill A2 is no longer present in the deposit safe 18, the loading operation is terminated.

Also, if a rejected ticket is generated during this loading,
The reject ticket is sent to the reject conveyance path at the gate 39f, and the reject section is sent through the ninth gate 39i and the tenth gate 39j.
Integrated at 22a.

In the above embodiment, after the bills A1 and A2 loaded from the loading storage 19 and the deposit safe 18 are accumulated in the accumulation units 301a and 301b,
When the push-in operation for storing in the storage units 20 and 21 is performed, the stacking units 301a and 301b are not formed, so that the unloading for loading cannot be performed.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 24 (d), the loading storage 19 and the safe 18 can be loaded alternately. That is, when the loaded banknote is divided into 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen in advance, the denominations are set such as a 10,000 yen ticket in the loading storage 19 and a 1,000 yen ticket in the deposit safe 18 (ST50). Then, in the same manner as described above, a ten thousand yen ticket is taken out from the loading storage 19, counted, inspected, and stored in the stacking part 301a of the ten thousand yen storage 16 (ST51 to ST57). Then, a specific number of 1,000 yen tickets are similarly taken out from the deposit safe 18 and stored in the 1,000 yen storage 17 in parallel with the operation of storing the million yen ticket. (ST61-ST66). In addition,
While the 1,000-yen ticket is being taken out, the loading storage 19 is in a standby state (ST58). Then, when the removal of the 1,000-yen ticket from the deposit safe 18 is completed (ST58), it is confirmed whether or not it is the loading storage 19 (ST59), and the removal of the 10,000-yen ticket is started again. By repeating this parallel operation, the loaded banknotes are always taken out from the loading box 19 or the safe 18 and the unloading operation is not stopped, so that the loading time is reduced by the time required for storing. be able to. And loading warehouse 19, safe 18
When both are empty, the loading operation ends (ST59, 60).

In the above-described embodiment, in the close inspection operation, the bills are tightened in the loading storage 19, but it is also possible to tighten the bills in the safe 18.

Using FIG. 14, FIG. 15 and FIG. 24 (f),
An example in which the banknotes are tightly scrutinized in both the 19 and the deposit box 18 will be described in detail.

The bill A3 of the ticket stored in the 10,000 yen storehouse 16 is taken out of the roller 30.

For example, a safe for scrutiny is set in advance for each denomination, such as a loading box 19 for a 10,000 yen ticket and a deposit box 18 for a 1,000 yen ticket, and a specific number of banknotes A3 will be taken out from the 10,000 yen box 16. The banknotes A4 are taken out of the 1,000 yen storehouse 17 and stored in the deposit safe 18 in parallel with the storage operation of the banknotes accumulated in the loading cabinet 19 as described above. By repeating this parallel operation, the processing time can be reduced.

That is, in the same manner as in the above-described close inspection operation, a ten-thousand-yen note is taken out from the ten-thousand-yen store 16, counted, inspected, and stacked in the loading storage 19 (SR82 to ST85). Then, when the ten thousand yen store 16 becomes empty or 100 ten thousand yen tickets are taken out and accumulated (ST86, 87)
The 10,000 yen ticket is stored in the loading storage 19.

At the same time as the start of the storing operation, the withdrawal of the banknote from the 1,000-yen storehouse 17 starts (ST92), and after counting and inspection (SR
93-95), when the 1,000 yen store 17 is empty or when 100 thousand yen tickets are taken out, the removal from the 1,000 yen store 17 is stopped, and the storing operation is started (ST98). While the 1,000-yen ticket is being taken out, the take-out operation from the ten-thousand-yen storehouse 16 is on standby (ST8
9) When the removal of the 1,000 yen note is completed, the removal is started again in parallel with the storing operation of the 1,000 yen note. In this way, the scrutiny of the 10,000 yen note and the 1,000 yen note is performed alternately. Then, when both the 10,000-yen store and the 1,000-yen store are empty, the 'SR90, 91) close inspection operation ends.

The loading and inspection modes described above are performed by a staff member operating the internal monitor.
