Description

  The present invention relates to passbook entry in an automatic transaction apparatus such as an automatic teller machine.

  Generally, an automatic transaction apparatus such as an automatic teller machine includes a passbook entry machine for performing a passbook entry process for printing a transaction history or the like on a passbook. Then, in the passbook entry process of this passbook entry machine, the customer opens and inserts the last page of the passbook, prints the unbooked data such as transaction history from the line after the last print line, and returns it to the customer. It has become.

  At this time, whether or not the opened page is the final printed page is determined by reading the magnetic data of the magnetic stripe attached to the passbook and reading the page mark of the passbook by an optical sensor.

  If it is not the last page to be printed, if the passbook / bookkeeping machine is provided with a page break, the page turning process is performed up to the last page to be printed, and then unrecorded data is printed. On the other hand, if the passbook entry machine does not have a page breaker, the page turning process cannot be performed, so the customer is advised to open the last printed page and insert it again, and return the passbook.

  When a page turning process is provided and page turning processing is performed, page turning guidance information and time required for page turning are displayed in order to prevent the page turning process from taking time and causing distrust to the customer. Thus, there has been a technology that does not distrust customers (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
