In the explanation below, the operator at the reception desk of a financial institution conducts a transaction (for example, a withdrawal transaction using a withdrawal slip) based on the passbook and slip received from the customer, and writes the transaction content in the passbook. An example in which predetermined items are simultaneously printed on a slip will be described.

  In the initial state of the passbook slip printer 1 of this embodiment, the transfer unit 9 is stopped at the medium take-in position, and the medium transport roller 12 of the transfer unit 9 abuts the pair of transport rollers in the medium transport path 13. In this state, the width adjusting roller 15 is retracted from the medium conveyance path 13.

  When an operator opens a customer's passbook entry page and inserts a passbook in the direction along the orthogonal direction of the binding from the medium insertion / ejection port 2, the control unit (not shown) of the passbook slip printer 1 The insertion sensor 17 detects the insertion of the medium, rotates the medium transport roller 12 of the transport unit 9 in the transport direction in the R direction (see FIG. 3), sandwiches the medium and transports it in the insert direction, and transports the transport unit 9 Start importing into.

  The controller that has started taking in the inserted medium rotates the medium transport roller 12 until the medium set sensor 18 detects the leading end in the medium insertion direction (R direction), and the medium set sensor 18 moves the leading end of the bankbook. When detected, all the medium transport rollers 12 are stopped and the passbook is sandwiched by the width adjusting rollers 15, then the medium transport rollers 12 are retracted from the medium transport path 13, and the medium is moved by the width adjusting rollers 15 in the direction of the medium reference surface 16. Then, one end of the insertion orthogonal direction is abutted against the medium reference surface 16, and the positioned medium is sandwiched again by the medium transport roller 12, and then the width adjusting roller 15 is retracted from the medium transport path 13. As a result, the medium positioned on the medium reference surface 16 is taken into the transfer unit 9 while being sandwiched between the medium transport rollers 12.

  Further, during the conveyance of the medium by the medium conveyance roller 12 described above, the control unit measures the elapsed time from when the insertion sensor 17 detects the leading edge in the medium insertion direction, and the insertion sensor 17 detects the trailing edge of the medium. Waiting for detection, when the insertion sensor 17 detects the trailing edge of the medium, the length of the medium is detected based on the elapsed time, and the medium is a passbook or slip depending on the length. If it is determined to be a bankbook, the transfer unit 9 that has taken in the bankbook is kept stopped at the medium take-in position where the medium carrying path 13 is opposed to the book carrying path 23. If it is determined to be a slip, the transfer unit 9 that has taken in the slip is moved by the transfer mechanism 11 in the direction of the slip conveyance path 33 (L direction). (At this stage, it is determined that the inserted medium is a passbook, and the transfer unit 9 is kept stopped at the medium take-in position).

  And a control part conveys the passbook positioned by the medium conveyance roller 12 of the transfer part 9 stopped in the medium taking-in position in the direction (R direction) of the passbook conveyance path 23, and this is transferred from the transfer part 9 to the passbook. It is delivered to the passbook transport roller 21 of the transport path 23, transported to the reading position by the page sensor 26, and the page mark is read. In the course of this transport, the passbook information such as the page in the book from the magnetic stripe of the passbook is transferred by the magnetic head 25. Read.

  The control unit that has read the passbook page mark and passbook information transfers the passbook to the passbook printing position by the passbook transfer roller 21 and performs printing processing on the passbook by the passbook print head 3a. In this case, if a page break is necessary, the passbook transport roller 21 transports the page turning unit 5 to perform the page turning process, and then performs the printing process.

  When the insertion sensor 17 detects the leading end in the insertion direction (R direction) of a new medium (slip in this embodiment) inserted from the medium insertion / ejection port 2 in the process of printing on the passbook, In the same manner as in the case of the bankbook described above, the slip is transported and positioned in the transport unit 9 by the medium transport roller 12, and the medium is detected according to the length of the medium detected based on the elapsed time. The transfer unit 9 that has been determined to be a voucher and has taken in the voucher is moved by the transfer mechanism 11 in the direction of the voucher conveyance path 33 (L direction) until the voucher set sensor 19 detects one end of the voucher. When the sensor 19 detects one end of the slip, the transfer unit 9 is stopped. Thereby, the transfer unit 9 stops at the slip delivery position.

  The controller that has stopped the transfer unit 9 at the slip delivery position transports the positioned slip in the direction of the slip transport path 33 (R direction) by the medium transport roller 12 of the transport unit 9, and transfers the slip to the transport unit 9. Then, it is transferred to the slip transport roller 31 of the slip transport path 33 and transported to the slip print position, and the slip print head 6a performs the print processing on the slip.

  Then, when the control unit recognizes that the printing process on the passbook has been completed and the slip has been transported to the slip printing position, the transport mechanism 11 causes the transport unit 9 to pass the direction of the passbook transport path 23 (U direction). ) To stop at the medium take-in position, and the passbook after the printing process is carried in the direction of the transfer section 9 (direction F) by the booklet carrying roller 21 and the magnetic head 25 uses the magnetic force of the passbook in the course of this carrying. The current entry page and the like are written in the stripe passbook information, the passbook is transferred to the medium transfer roller 12 of the medium transfer path 13, and the passbook is further transferred in the discharge direction (F direction) by the medium transfer roller 12. After detecting the leading end of the bankbook in the discharging direction and transporting it for a predetermined distance, the medium transport roller 12 is stopped and the bankbook is ejected from the medium insertion / ejection port 2, and the insertion sensor 17 receives the bankbook. To confirm the Ri.

  The control unit confirming receipt of the passbook by the operator moves the transfer unit 9 in the direction (L direction) of the slip conveyance path 33 by the transfer mechanism 11 and stops it at the slip delivery position, thereby completing the printing process on the slip. When the fact is recognized, the slip that has finished the printing process is transported by the slip transport roller 31 in the direction of the transfer unit 9 (F direction) and delivered to the medium transport roller 12 of the medium transport path 13. Further, the sheet is conveyed in the discharging direction (F direction), and the medium conveying roller 12 is stopped when the slip set sensor 19 detects the leading end of the slip in the discharging direction. As a result, the slip that has undergone the printing process is accommodated in the transfer unit 9.

  Then, the control unit causes the transfer mechanism 11 to move the transfer unit 9 containing the slip for which the printing process has been completed in the direction of the medium insertion / exhaust port 2 (U direction) and stop the medium at the medium take-in position. 12, the slip is transported in the discharge direction (F direction) and the insertion sensor 17 detects the leading end of the slip in the discharge direction and transports it for a predetermined distance. The receipt of the slip by the operator is confirmed by the insertion sensor 17.

In this way, the processing operation of the medium processing for continuously and simultaneously processing the passbook and slip by the passbook slip printer 1 of the present embodiment is performed.
When processing only the passbook, only the passbook processing operation described above is executed, and when processing only the slip, only the slip processing operation described above is executed.

  Here, in this embodiment, the medium type (either passbook or slip) is determined by detecting the medium length of the inserted medium. However, the control command from the host apparatus or the operation panel of the apparatus, etc. It is also possible to specify the medium type by controlling the medium processing operation according to the specified result.

In the above description, the insertion of the passbook is accepted first and the slip is accepted during the passbook printing process. However, the insertion of the slip may be accepted first and the passbook may be accepted during the slip printing process. In this case, a process for processing only the slip may be executed first, and the passbook may be conveyed to the passbook processing unit 5 by a process for processing only the passbook during the slip printing process.
Further, it may be possible to set which medium of the passbook or slip for which printing has been completed is to be preferentially ejected by a control command from the upper apparatus or an operation panel of the apparatus.

However, the positional relationship between the passbook processing unit 5 and the slip processing unit 7 may be arranged upside down. Good.
Here, the medium processing unit (passbook processing unit 5 or slip processing unit 7) may arrange the medium processing unit that gives priority to processing near the medium insertion / ejection port 2 (in the present embodiment, at the top of the apparatus). Good.

  As described above, the passbook slip printer 1 of the present embodiment transports the medium in the insertion / discharge direction which is the orthogonal direction along the transfer direction of the transfer unit 9 that transfers the medium in the insertion orthogonal direction by the transfer mechanism 11. Since the passbook processing unit 5 and the slip processing unit 7 to be processed are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, the horizontal installation width of the passbook slip printer 1 can be reduced, and the work space on the desk as shown in FIG. The passbook slip printer can be installed even in a narrow space such as under a desk, and the space utility for the space where the passbook slip printer 1 such as a reception desk is installed can be improved. .

Further, since the passbook processing unit 5 and the slip processing unit 7 are arranged independently, it becomes possible to accept the slip during the printing process to the passbook without waiting for the completion of the discharge of the processed passbook. In addition, it is possible to simultaneously process passbooks and slips submitted at the same time in the window transaction, thereby shortening the processing time in the window transaction.
Further, since the medium insertion / extraction port 2 for inserting both the passbook and the slip is provided, the operator does not mistake the medium insertion / extraction port 2, and the processing time for the counter transaction is prevented by preventing the medium from being re-executed. Can be shortened.
