7 and then delivered to the customer from the slip issuing port 3. If the customer forgets to take the slip B, it is determined that the slip B has been left behind, is sent back through the slip transport path 77, and is stored in the collection slip storage section 78.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, regarding the initial set positioning, it is sufficient to simply store the slip paper B' in the paper storage section 21, place the take-out roller 23 on it, and bring it into pressure contact. Next, when the switch 65 is pressed, the take-out roller 23, the bin feed roller 32, and the separation rollers 36 and 37 rotate. As a result, the top of the slip paper B' is sent out by the take-out roller 23, passes through a guide body (not shown), and engages with the bin feeder 32, and the slip paper B° is automatically sent along the paper conveyance path 31. I'm going to be carried away.

When reaching the separating means 38, the paper enters between the separating rollers 36 and 37, and due to a slight difference in the circumferential speed of both rollers 36 and 37, both sheets are peeled off, separated by the separating member 35, and proceed to form a receipt slip sheet. B'a is fed as is, and issue slip paper B'b advances on the lower side and after passing through the cutter 40, both papers B'a and B'
b joins again and is sent as slip paper B°, and paper transport F! When the leading edge of the slip paper B° as a specific portion reaches a detection body 46 consisting of an optical sensor provided at @31, a detection signal 53 is output. This is recorded as a "1" code 54 in the command storage medium 49 by the recording/reading head 51, and at the same time, equally divided "0" codes are recorded based on the position of the detection signal 53 according to the desired schedule. While maintaining the positional relationship of the writing means 63, the printing means activation signal, the emboss printing means activation signal (not shown), and the cutting means activation signal 5.
6, etc. are respectively recorded as a "1" code 54 according to the schedule, rotate once and stop at the detection signal 53.Fourth, the recording/reading head 51 is switched to reading and the schedule is sequentially executed, and then multiple transactions are performed. Let it run for a minute and you're ready to go. Switching of these heads 51, input of schedules, etc. are performed by a computer.

Next, when the card A is inserted from the card insertion slot 2, the card detector Pi14 detects this, and the roller pair 13...
is driven, the card A is conveyed along the card conveyance path 10, the transaction information of the stripe a is read by a magnetic head 15 serving as an information reading means, and the card A is held on the turntable 18. Then, by a mechanism not shown, it is rotated 90 degrees and stands by.

On the other hand, the feeding mechanism 30 is activated, and as the bottle feeding wheel 32 rotates, the command storage medium 49 of the control means 45 simultaneously rotates. The slip sheets B° are first separated by the separating means 38, pass through the cutting means 41, merge again, and are conveyed through the printing means 61, above the turntable 18, and so on. During this time, each operation signal from the command storage medium 49 is read out and executed according to the schedule, and the printing means 61 and emboss printing means 62 are operated to write transaction information such as s, d, and e. Finally, the issued slip paper I3'b is cut by the cutting activation signal 56 and sent as a slip B. The duplicate slip sheet B'a and the separated slip B overlap each other and the sorting reaches the gate 71 of the means 72, and the continuous sorted duplicate slip sheets B'a are wound up by the winding means 70. .

On the other hand, the cut slip B is issued as a slip B from the slip issuing port 3 through a slip transport path 76,77 consisting of a belt conveyor. Further, after the emboss printing has been completed, the card A is returned to its original position by turning the turntable 18 90 degrees in the opposite direction, and is sent back through the card transport path 10 by the reverse rotation of the roller pair 13, and is returned to the customer through the card insertion slot 2. .

Furthermore, the forgotten card A is returned to the card conveyance path 10.
, the distribution is diverted downward by the rotation of the gate of means 17 and is stored in storage 16 . Also, the forgotten slip B is delivered by slip transport r! By the reverse rotation of @77, it is sent to the collection slip accommodating section 78 and stored therein.

In this embodiment, the command storage medium 49 and the bottle feeding wheel 32 are provided on the same axis, but the invention is not limited to this, and they may rotate on separate shafts. The specific part is not limited to the tip, for example, an appropriate incision,
A mark or the like may also be used.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6. This embodiment differs greatly from the first embodiment in that it does not include a slip issuing means. Therefore, since the other parts are almost the same, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed explanation will be omitted. Further, the cards to be used and the slips to be created are also the same as in the first embodiment. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body, which is provided with a card A insertion slot 2. Inside is a card transport path 10 and a paper feeder! fi 20, feeding means 33, control means 45, printing means 61, embossing printing means 62, winding means 70, etc. are provided, and since these have the same configuration as in the first embodiment, their explanation will be omitted. Note that the slip form B' is made of two sheets stacked one on top of the other.

Next, the overall operation will be explained. The initial setting of sheets is the same as in the first embodiment, but the difference is that there is no separating means or cutting means. Briefly, a slip paper B' is set in the paper storage section 21, and the take-out roller 23 is moved to the slip paper B'.
When the switch 65 is pressed, the take-out roller 2
3, slip form B.

is taken out, engaged with the bottle feeder 32 and sent, and when the leading end reaches the detection body 46 on the paper conveyance path 31, this is detected and a detection signal is output. This signal indicating the paper setting position and the operation schedule of the writing means 63 are stored in the command storage medium 49, and then these command signals are read out to create a slip according to the schedule, thereby completing the initial setting work. do. Further, all operations starting from the insertion of card A are almost the same as in the first embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the slip paper B° is not cut but is wound continuously by the winding means 70.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, the present invention detects a specific part of the slip paper on the paper conveyance path and uses this as the paper setting position to execute each processing schedule. There are no restrictions, and since a take-out roller is provided, the initial setting work can be done by simply pressing a switch, so no skill is required and it can be completed in a short time. In addition, since there is no operational error, misalignment of print and paper jams are prevented, so it is possible to provide a highly reliable slip creation and issuance device.
