The first winding rod 82 a and the second winding rod 82 b are inserted through the insertion port C <b> 2 provided on the tip surface of the rotating portion 81.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the printed matter issuing apparatus according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 6, the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 includes a control device 90 that controls the processing of the entire apparatus. Specifically, the control device 90 may be an IC (Integrated Circuit) component, for example, a CPU (Central Process Unit) that reads a program and performs a predetermined processing operation. The control device 90 inputs an issue command or a detection signal from the extraction detection sensor 70. When an issuance command is input in response to pressing of the receipt issuance button B (FIG. 1), the control device 90 performs a pass ticket issuance operation. Further, the collecting operation is performed when a predetermined condition based on the detection signal from the sampling detection sensor 70 is satisfied.
The print processing unit 91 drives and controls the printing unit 20 (the print head 21 and the platen roller 22) according to a command from the control device 90, and causes the printing unit 20 to perform a process of printing on the printing paper P.
The roller drive unit 92 is a drive mechanism that rotationally drives the transport unit 30 (drive roller 31) in response to a command from the control device 90. Thereby, the control apparatus 90 can convey the printing paper P along the conveyance path R1 as desired.
The cutting drive unit 93 is a drive mechanism that drives the cutting unit 50 in response to a command from the control device 90. Thereby, the control apparatus 90 can cut the printing paper P at a desired timing.
As described with reference to FIG. 5, the winding drive unit 94 is a drive mechanism that drives the winding unit 80 in response to a command from the control device 90, and performs a predetermined winding operation on the winding unit 80. Let it be implemented.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a processing flow of the control device according to the first embodiment.
An operation of issuing a receipt (printed printing paper P) by the control device 90 of the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 will be described step by step with reference to FIG.
First, when the user presses the receipt issuance button B (FIG. 1), the fee collection control unit of the automatic fee collection machine 201 detects the depression, and a receipt issue command is sent from the fee collection control unit to the control device 90. Input (step S01).
Then, the control device 90 outputs a signal indicating a print command and print contents to the print processing unit 91 (step S02). The print processing unit 91 drives the printing unit 20 based on this print command or the like. As a result, the printing unit 20 sends out the printing paper P by driving the platen roller 22 while printing by the printing head 21 on the printing paper P.
Further, the control device 90 outputs a rotation command to the roller drive unit 92 in accordance with the print command to the printing unit 20 (step S03). The roller drive unit 92 rotates the transport unit 30 (drive roller 31) based on the rotation command. Thereby, the conveyance unit 30 conveys the printing paper P sequentially sent out from the printing unit 20 to the downstream side (+ X direction) along the conveyance path R1.

  In this manner, the printing paper P sent out from the printing unit 20 first proceeds downstream (+ X direction) along the transport path R1 while being guided by the first guide unit 60. Then, the printing paper P further proceeds toward the downstream side while being sandwiched between the conveyance units 30 (the driving roller 31 and the driven roller 32). At this time, when the front end of the printing paper P reaches the detection position of the extraction detection sensor 70, the output of the extraction detection sensor 70 is switched from the off signal to the on signal.

In addition, the control device 90 outputs a cutting command to the cutting drive unit 93 at a predetermined timing (step S04). Based on this cutting command, the cutting drive unit 93 drives the cutting unit 50 (cutter). Accordingly, the cutting unit 50 cuts the printing paper P into a predetermined size. When the printing paper P having a predetermined size reaches the discharge port 87, the receipt (printing paper P) is issued, and the user can receive the receipt from the discharge port 87.
At this time, the printing paper P may be sent out to a position that does not deviate from the detection position of the non-delivery detection sensor 70 by the transport unit 30 while being sandwiched by the transport unit 30. By doing in this way, since the printing paper P is held by the transport unit 30, for example, the printing paper P can be prevented from being lost due to a natural fall or wind.
Further, the cutting unit 50 may not cut the printing paper P completely, but may cut it so as to leave only part of both ends (partial cut). In this way, it is possible to avoid the printing paper P from being lost due to natural fall or wind.

  Here, even when the receipt is issued as described above, the user may leave without receiving the receipt (printing paper P). In such a case, the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 collects a receipt that has been rejected by performing a collecting operation.

Next, the collection operation of the receipt (printed printing paper P) by the control device 90 of the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 will be described step by step with reference to FIG.
The collection operation is started when a predetermined condition based on the detection signal from the sampling detection sensor 70 is satisfied. Specifically, for example, the control device 90 detects the start provided in the toll collection facility 200 while continuously receiving an input of the on-state of the sampling detection sensor 70 due to the printing paper P remaining in the transport path R1. On the condition that the start detection signal of the vehicle on which the user is boarding is received from the device 206 (FIG. 1), the collecting operation is started (step S11).
Further, the control device 90 may be configured to start the collecting operation when the continuation time of the ON state of the sampling detection sensor 70 exceeds a predetermined time.

When the collection operation is started, the control device 90 outputs a winding command to the winding drive unit 94 (step S12). The winding drive unit 94 drives the winding unit 80 based on the winding command. Thereby, the winding unit 80 starts a winding operation of the non-delivered receipt (printing paper P).
After outputting the winding command, the control device 90 determines that the winding of the printing paper P has been completed when the signal output from the sampling detection sensor 70 changes from the on signal to the off signal, and determines the winding command. The output is stopped (step S13). The winding drive unit 94 stops the operation of the winding unit 80 based on the stop of the winding command output. Accordingly, the winding unit 80 stops the winding operation of the receipt (printing paper P) and performs a process of collecting the receipt in the collecting unit 55.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the winding unit according to the first embodiment.
A specific winding operation of the winding unit 80 in response to the winding command of the control device 90 (step S12 in FIG. 7B) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8A, in a stage before the winding is performed, the printing paper P is transported to the discharge port 87 along the transport path R1 (FIG. 1). At this time, as described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the first winding rod 82 a and the second winding rod 82 b are in a state of being accommodated in the rotating portion 81. The first winding rod 82a is disposed on the upper side (+ Z direction) of the surface of the printing paper P, and the second winding rod 82b is disposed on the lower side (−Z direction) of the surface of the printing paper P.

  Next, the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b are moved in the paper width direction (+ Y direction) from the front end surface (first side wall 85a) of the rotation unit 81 according to the drive control of the take-up drive unit 94 (FIG. 6). ) (See FIG. 8B). At this time, as shown in FIG. 8B, the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b are arranged so as to sandwich the printing paper P therebetween.

  Next, the rotation unit 81 starts to rotate in accordance with drive control from the winding drive unit 94. At this time, the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b rotate integrally with the rotating portion 81 (see FIG. 8C).

  When the rotating unit 81 rotates, the printing paper P is wound up by the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b. The rotating unit 81 continues to rotate until the signal output from the sampling detection sensor 70 changes from an on signal to an off signal, and when the signal changes to an off signal (when the input of the winding command from the control device 90 is stopped). To stop rotation. At this point, the printing paper P is completely wound up (see FIG. 8D).

Next, the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b are moved in the paper width direction (−Y direction) toward the front end surface (first side wall 85a) of the rotation unit 81 according to the drive control of the take-up drive unit 94. (See FIG. 8E). At this time, the wound printing paper P tries to move together with the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b, but the side ends thereof are moved to the first paper receiving portion 83a and the second paper receiving portion 83b. The movement is restricted by being pressed. As a result, the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b are pulled out while the wound print paper P stays at the place, so that the print paper P is removed from the take-up portion 80, and the recovery path R2 And is collected in the collection unit 55.
The printed matter issuing apparatus 100 completes the collection operation of the non-delivered receipt (printing paper P) as described above.

  Although the above-described control device 90 has been described in a mode in which it receives an input of a detection signal of the sampling detection sensor 70 and starts the collecting operation when the detection signal satisfies a predetermined condition, The form is not limited to this aspect. For example, the control device 90 according to another embodiment is an aspect in which an input of a “collection command” is received from the fee collection control unit of the automatic fee collection machine 201 and a collection operation is started in response to the input of the collection command. May be. In this case, the toll collection control unit receives various detection signals from the sampling detection sensor 70 and the start detection device 206 and outputs a collection command to the control device 90 when the detection signal satisfies a predetermined condition. It is good also as what to do.

  As described above, according to the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment, when the non-delivery of the printing paper P occurs, the winding unit 80 can wind up and collect the printing paper P.

  In general, the length of the printing paper discharged from the printed matter issuing apparatus varies, and the long one may be about 30 cm. Then, in order to reliably collect such a long print sheet in the direction intersecting the conveyance path, it is necessary to increase the configuration size of the sheet removing unit (for example, to increase the pushing stroke by the sheet removing unit). It was difficult to reduce the overall size. However, according to the printed matter issuing apparatus 100, the printing paper P conveyed to the discharge port 87 can be collected in a compact manner regardless of its length, and the collecting mechanism can be downsized. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the configuration of the entire printed matter issuing apparatus 100 (compact).

  In the present embodiment, the winding unit 80 has been described as being installed on one side (first side wall 85a) of the side wall of the conveyance path, but is installed on the other side (second side wall 85b) of the side wall. It may be an embodiment.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winding unit 80 has been described as having the winding detection sensor 70 (winding detection sensor) complete the winding operation in response to detection of the passage of the leading edge of the printing paper P. However, the present invention is not limited to this aspect.
For example, the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to another embodiment may include a length holding unit that holds the length of the conveyed printing paper P. Specifically, the length holding unit refers to the distance transported by the transport unit 30 or the like and the position cut by the cutting unit 50 for the printing paper P, and provides a receipt to be provided to the user. The length PL of (printing paper P) is acquired and held. Then, when starting the collecting operation, the control device 90 according to the other embodiment refers to the held length PL and notifies the winding drive unit 94 of the rotation amount according to the length PL. . The rotating unit 81 rotates by an amount corresponding to the notified amount of rotation, and completes the winding operation. In this way, the winding unit 80 can appropriately complete the winding operation without referring to the signal of the sampling detection sensor 70.

  Moreover, although the above-mentioned printed matter issuing apparatus 100 was demonstrated as what is mounted in the automatic fee collection machine 201 installed in an exit toll gate, in other embodiment, it is not limited to this aspect. For example, in another embodiment, the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 is installed at an entrance toll gate, and is mounted on an automatic pass ticket issuing machine that issues a pass ticket that records information indicating the location of the entrance, vehicle type information, and the like. It may be. Further, it may be mounted on an automatic toll collection machine 201 installed at an entrance toll gate of a toll road where a prepaid fee form is adopted.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a printed matter issuing apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described.
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a structure of a printed matter issuing apparatus according to the second embodiment.
In the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 9, the pin guide outlet 66a is provided in the upper guide plate of the second guide portion 65, and the upper side to the lower side (−Z direction) of the transport path R1 through the pin outlet 66a. The pushing pin 86 (pushing member) is sent out to the top. Further, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, the collection path R2 is provided on the front side (+ Y direction side) in FIG. 1 with respect to the transport path R1.

10 and 11 are first and second views showing the structure of the winding unit according to the second embodiment.
Since the structure of the winding unit 80 according to this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted. However, the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b according to the present embodiment are always maintained in a state of being stretched in the paper width direction (± Y direction) and moved as in the first embodiment. It is not possible (can be accommodated in the rotating part 81) (see FIG. 11).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the push pin 86 is provided on the upper side (+ Z direction side) of the winding unit 80. And it is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat between an advance position and a retracted position, which will be described later, according to drive control of a pin drive unit 95 (described later).

  As shown in FIG. 11, the push-out pin 86 is provided at a position retracted from the rotation range while being close to the first side wall 85a during the discharge operation of the printing paper P. Here, the position retracted from the rotation range means that when the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b are rotated, the tip of the push-out pin 86 is the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod. This is a position that does not come into contact with the rod 82b (retraction position Q2, see FIG. 11).

When the push-out pin 86 is sent downward from the retracted position Q2, the tip of the push-out pin 86 is one end (end X) on the long side of the printing paper P that is transported along the transport path R1 (FIG. 9). It arrange | positions so that it may insert in the clearance gap d with the front end surface of the rotation part 81 installed in the 1st side wall 85a (refer FIG. 11). Here, the position where the front end of the push pin 86 is disposed between the front end surface of the rotation unit 81 and the printing paper P conveyed to the conveyance unit 30 is defined as an advance position Q1 of the push pin 86 (see FIG. 11). .
During the collecting operation, as will be described later, after the non-delivered printing paper P is taken up by the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b, the push pin 86 moves from the retracted position Q2 to the advanced position. It is sent to Q1, and the tip is inserted into the gap d on the proximal end side of the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b.

Thereafter, the push pin 86 translates in the + Y direction from the advanced position Q1 to a position passing through the tips of the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b (push-out position Q3, see FIG. 11).
Then, the push pin 86 pushes the printing paper P wound around the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b in the + Y direction as it moves in the + Y direction. The printing paper P slides on the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b while being pushed by the pushing pin 86, and is removed when the end portion X reaches the leading end.
Thus, in the present embodiment, the push pin 86 functions as a drop-off unit that removes the printing paper P taken up from the take-up unit 80.

As shown in FIG. 11, the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has a wide side wall width (a width between the first side wall 85a and the second side wall 85b) of the transport path R1. Specifically, the wall surface of the second side wall 85b is arranged at a position further spaced by a width L from the tips of the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b. Here, the width L is preferably set longer than the length of the printing paper P in the short side direction.
The collection unit 55 is provided on the + Y direction side of the transport path R1 (FIG. 9) so as to be in contact with the second side wall 85b. Here, as described above, the printing paper P taken up by the take-up unit 80 is removed from the take-up unit 80 by being pushed out to the + Y direction side by the push pin 86. Therefore, the collection unit 55 is arranged on the + Y direction side of the transport path R1 so that the printing paper P pushed out in the + Y direction side falls as it is and is collected along the collection path R2 (FIG. 11). .

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of a printed matter issuing apparatus according to the second embodiment.
In FIG. 12, the same functional configuration as that of the first embodiment is denoted by the same reference numeral, and the description thereof is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 12, the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment includes a pin driving unit 95 that drives the extrusion pin 86. The pin drive unit 95 drives the push pin 86 in accordance with the push command output by the control device 90, and executes an operation of removing the printing paper P.

Here, the pin driver 95 includes a first driver 95a and a second driver 95b.
The first drive unit 95a is a drive unit that moves the push pin 86 forward and backward between the advanced position Q1 and the retracted position Q2.
The second drive unit 95b is a drive unit that moves the push pin 86 in a direction in which the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b protrude.
The specific operation of the push pin 86 driven by the first drive unit 95a and the second drive unit 95b will be described later.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the winding unit according to the second embodiment.
A specific winding operation of the winding unit 80 in response to the winding command of the control device 90 (step S12 in FIG. 7B) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 13A, before the winding is performed, the printing paper P is transported to the discharge port 87 along the transport path R1 (FIG. 1). At this time, as described in FIGS. 10 and 11, the first winding rod 82 a and the second winding rod 82 b are maintained in a state of being extended from the rotating portion 81 in the + Y direction. Further, the first winding rod 82a places the printing paper P on the upper side (+ Z direction) of the printing paper P, and the second winding rod 82b places the printing paper P on the lower side (−Z direction) of the printing paper P. They are arranged so as to be sandwiched between each other.
Furthermore, the tip of the push pin 86 is arranged at the retracted position Q2 (FIG. 11).

  Next, the rotation unit 81 starts to rotate in accordance with the drive control of the winding drive unit 94 (FIG. 12). At this time, the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b rotate integrally with the rotating portion 81 (see FIG. 13B).

When the rotating unit 81 rotates, the printing paper P is wound up by the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b. The rotating unit 81 continues to rotate until the signal output from the extraction detection sensor 70 changes from the on signal to the off signal, and stops rotating when the signal changes to the off signal (when the winding is completed). At this point, the printing paper P is completely wound up (see FIG. 13C).
In the present embodiment, when the winding unit completes winding and the rotating unit 81 stops rotating, as shown in FIG. 13C, the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b are The line S connecting the axes in the extending direction is stopped so as to be horizontal (parallel to the XY plane).

  The push pin 86 is sent from the retracted position Q2 to the advanced position Q1 (FIG. 11) in accordance with the drive control of the first drive unit 95a (FIG. 12). Then, since the line S connecting the axes of the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b is horizontal, the tip of the push-out pin 86 is connected to the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b. It is inserted between. At this time, the push pin 86 is inserted into the gap d between the front end surface of the rotating portion 81 and the end portion X of the wound printing paper P (see FIG. 13D).

Next, the push pin 86 translates in the + Y direction from the advance position Q1 to the push position Q3 (see FIG. 11) in accordance with drive control by the second drive unit 95b. Then, the push-out pin 86 pushes it in the + Y direction while coming into contact with the end X of the printing paper P that has been wound along with the movement in the + Y direction. The printing paper P slides on the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b while being pushed by the push pin 86, and drops when the end X reaches the front end and is stored in the collecting unit 55. .
The printed matter issuing apparatus 100 completes the collection operation of the non-delivered receipt (printing paper P) as described above.
Note that after the collection operation is completed in FIG. 13E, the control device 90 outputs a return command to the winding drive unit 94 and the pin drive unit 95, and the rotation unit 81 and the push pin 86 are in the initial state (see FIG. 13). 13 (a)).

  As described above, according to the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment, the receipt (printing paper P) on which the separately provided extrusion pin 86 is wound is pushed out from the end in the extending direction of the winding rod and removed. . Thereby, it is not necessary to provide the moving mechanism of the 1st winding rod 82a and the 2nd winding rod 82b in the winding part 80, and the apparatus structure of the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 can be simplified.

In the present embodiment, it has been described that the push pin 86 slides and removes the printing paper P while the winding unit 80 and the printed printing paper P are fixed (see FIG. 13E). Other embodiments are not limited to this aspect.
For example, in the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to another embodiment, the first winding is performed while the position of the push pin 86 is fixed from the state where the push pin 86 is sent downward (the state of FIG. 13D). Only the rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b may slide in the −Y direction. Alternatively, the winding unit 80 (the rotating unit 81, the first winding rod 82a, and the second winding rod 82b) may be integrally slid in the -Y direction.
In this case, it is assumed that the collection unit 55 is provided directly below the transport route R1 (on the −Z direction side).

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a winding unit according to a modification of the second embodiment.
In the winding unit 80 of the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the modification, two winding rods (first winding rod 82a and second winding rod 82b) may be openable and closable.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b are vertically moved (± Z direction) from the base end of the rotating portion 81 during normal conveyance. It is arranged to stretch.
The rotating unit 81 has a rod rotation driving unit 88 at the base ends of the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b. The rod rotation driving unit 88 performs the closing operation of the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b when receiving a winding command from the control device 90 (FIG. 12). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14B, the first winding rod 82a and the second winding rod 82b are rotated by 90 ° from the base end so as to extend in the rotation axis direction (+ Y direction).
In this way, the first take-up rod 82a and the second take-up rod 82b can be discharged from the conveyance path R1 so as not to disturb the conveyance of the printing paper P.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a printed matter issuing apparatus according to the third embodiment will be described.
15 and 16 are first and second diagrams showing the structure of the printed matter issuing apparatus according to the third embodiment.
The printed matter issuing apparatus 100 shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 includes an opening / closing part 75 and a guide plate formed in an arc shape on the upper side (+ Z direction side) of the conveyance path R1 on the downstream side (+ X direction side) of the conveyance part 30. 76 is provided.
The opening / closing part 75 is a shutter that can be opened and closed so as to shield the transport path R1. The opening / closing part 75 is opened when the printing paper P is transported (see FIG. 15). Further, the opening / closing unit 75 slides in the −Z direction to close the transport path R1 when collecting the non-delivered printing paper P (see FIG. 16).

The guide plate 76 is a plate that guides the printing paper P that is sent out from the transport unit 30 when being collected along the winding path R3.
As shown in FIG. 16, when the transport unit 30 transports the printing paper P in a state where the opening / closing unit 75 (shutter) is closed, first, the round printing paper P hits the opening / closing unit 75 and is guided upward. . Thereafter, as the conveyance further proceeds along the path R <b> 3, the printing paper P is wound while being guided by the guide plate 76.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of a printed matter issuing apparatus according to the third embodiment.
In FIG. 17, the same functional configuration as that of the first and second embodiments is denoted by the same reference numeral, and the description thereof is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 17, the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment includes an opening / closing drive unit 96 that drives the opening / closing unit 75. The opening / closing drive unit 96 slides the opening / closing unit 75 upward or downward (opening / closing operation) in accordance with an opening operation command or a closing operation command output from the control device 90.
As will be described later, the control device 90 according to the present embodiment outputs a reverse rotation command to the roller driving unit 92 during the collecting operation. The roller driving unit 92 to which the reverse rotation command is input drives the conveyance unit 30 (drive roller 31) to rotate (reverse rotation) in a direction opposite to that during conveyance.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating a processing flow of the control device according to the third embodiment.
Receipt collection operation by the control device 90 of the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described step by step with reference to FIG.
Similar to the first embodiment, the collection operation is started when a predetermined condition based on the detection signal from the extraction detection sensor 70 is satisfied (step S31). When the collecting operation is started, next, the control device 90 outputs a reverse rotation command to the roller driving unit 92 (step S32). The roller driving unit 92 reversely rotates the driving roller 31 based on the reverse rotation command. As a result, the transport unit 30 rotates in the opposite direction to that during transport, and pulls back the undelivered receipt (printing paper P) from the discharge port 87 to the upstream side (−X direction side).
After outputting the reverse rotation command, the control device 90 determines that the pull-back processing of the printing paper P is completed when the signal output from the extraction detection sensor 70 changes from the on signal to the off signal, and the roller driving unit 92. The output of the reverse rotation command to is stopped (step S33). Thereby, the conveyance unit 30 stops the pull-back process. Further, the control device 90 outputs a closing operation command to the opening / closing drive unit 96 (step S34). The opening / closing drive unit 96 to which the closing operation command is input slides the opening / closing unit 75 downward (+ Z direction) to shield the transport path R1 (see FIGS. 15 and 16).
Thereafter, the control device 90 again outputs a rotation command to the roller drive unit 92 (step S35). Accordingly, the transport unit 30 tries to transport the printing paper P again downstream (+ X direction) of the transport path R1 of the printing paper P. However, at this time, the transport path R <b> 1 is shielded by the opening / closing part 75. Therefore, the printing paper P hits the opening / closing unit 75 and is guided upward as the conveyance unit 30 conveys it downstream. Here, since the printing paper P was wound as the roll paper 11 before printing, the leading end on the downstream side is rounded in the upward direction (+ Z direction). Therefore, after the front end of the printing paper P contacts the opening / closing part 75, the downstream side of the printing paper P is guided upward by being conveyed to the conveyance unit 30 as it is.
Thereafter, when the transport unit 30 continues to transport downstream, the printing paper P is wound up while being guided by the guide plate 76 along the path R3 (FIG. 16) (see FIG. 16). Then, the printing paper P wound up by the guide plate 76 falls along the collection path R2 when the rear end (upstream end) of the printing paper P passes through the conveyance unit 30 and is collected in the collection unit 55. Be contained.

As described above, according to the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the third embodiment, the receipt can be wound and collected with only the opening / closing mechanism (opening / closing part 75) and the guide plate 76. Thereby, the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 does not need to provide driving mechanisms such as the rotating unit 81, the first winding rod 82a, and the second winding rod 82b in the first and second embodiments, and the printed matter issuing device 100 The apparatus configuration can be further simplified.
In the printed matter issuing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the opening / closing mechanism (opening / closing unit 75) and the guide plate 76 function as a winding unit that winds up the non-delivered receipt (printing paper P). In this case, the conveyance unit 30 functions as a drop-off unit.

  In the above-described third embodiment, the transported printing paper P has been described as being wound by being guided by the guide plate 76 formed in an arc shape. However, in other embodiments, It is not limited to an aspect. That is, the shape of the guide plate 76 is not limited to an arc shape as long as it can be accommodated within a limited volume while winding the conveyed printing paper P.

  Further, as a modification of the third embodiment, instead of the guide plate 76, for example, the printing paper P to be conveyed is wound around a guide rod charged with static electricity while being wound around it, so that a winding path (path R3). It is good also as a mode which can be guided to.

  Each process of the control device 90 described above is stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a program, and the above process is performed by the computer reading and executing the program. May be. Here, the computer-readable recording medium refers to a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), a semiconductor memory, or the like. Alternatively, the computer program may be distributed to the computer via a communication line, and the computer that has received the distribution may execute the program.

  As mentioned above, although some embodiment of this invention was described, these embodiment is shown as an example and is not intending limiting the range of invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the invention described in the claims and equivalents thereof, as long as they are included in the scope and gist of the invention.
