Reference numeral 49 indicates an operation area for the operator, and 48 indicates the depth within the desk, which indicates the degree of seating comfort for the operator.

The operation of the financial terminal device of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained below. Here, a bankbook, which has the most processing steps among the various media 11, will be taken as an example and will be described as a medium. When the medium 11 placed on the top plate 2 of the desk 1 is placed in the insertion slot 15 with the cover side facing down and is fed horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the binding edge, the driving roller 17 and the driven roller 18
It is held and inhaled. When the medium is sucked in, the image system reader 29 reads the printed contents of the medium 11 and sends the data to a display (CRT) or an optical coat reader (OCR). Next, the passbook magnetic reader/writer 30 reads the data on the magnetic stripe on the cover of the medium 11.

This data is decoded, and if the medium can be processed, it is conveyed to the back of the insertion port conveyance path 22 by a series of the driving rollers and driven rollers. In the process of passing through this conveyance path 22, the binding irregularities of the bankbook are corrected. Next, the branch pointer 24 moves in the direction of the arrow (
The medium 11 is guided downward into the printer section 5 and conveyed to a conveyance path 27 by a series of drive rollers 25 and driven rollers 26 of the printer section. The medium 11 that has passed through the passbook magnetic reader/writer 45 and the print head 31 without processing is passed through the page detector 34, and the bar code of the open page is read and the page is recognized. If a page break is required here, the page is conveyed to the conveyance path 28 at the next page break mechanism position, and the page is turned over by the page break mechanism 35. The medium 11 on which the page break has been made is conveyed upward,
The page is checked again by the page detector 34, and if it is a predetermined page, it is conveyed to the upper printing position, and a predetermined date, amount, etc. are printed by the print head 31, ink ribbon cassette 32, etc. The medium 11 on which printing has been completed is further conveyed to the passbook magnetic reader/writer 45, and the data on the magnetic stripe of the medium 11 is updated. Next, the branch pointer 24 rotates counterclockwise (as shown), and the medium is guided into the ejection conveyance path 23 of the inserter section 4 and conveyed upward by a series of drive rollers 19 and driven rollers 20 to the ejection port 16. It is discharged horizontally from The processing operation has been explained using the medium 11 as an example of a bankbook. However, in this financial terminal device, the branch pointer 24 can be rotated to select the insertion port 15 as the ejection port and the ejection port 16 as the insertion port. Among media such as slips, two types or two media of the same type can be sucked into the inserter section 4 at the same time and overlap processing can be performed, thereby improving the media processing speed. The series of operations for media processing has been explained above, and next we will explain the operations and operations for maintenance inspection and replacement of consumables in abnormal conditions, which are the characteristics of this financial terminal device. The main tasks of maintenance inspection and replacement of consumables are to remove jamming of media inside the device to ensure a normal conveyance path, and to replace ink ribbon cassettes that have reached the end of their service life. If an abnormality occurs, a buzzer on the workstation 10 will sound an alarm, and the operator will press the open/close button 13 on the inserter section 4. Then, the failure diagnosis panel 14 opens and the details of the abnormality are displayed. Taking the case of a media jam as an example, the location of the media jam (transport path 22, 23, 27, etc.) is displayed on the failure diagnosis panel 14.
28) is displayed. When the ink ribbon cassette 32 is at the end of its life, the print density on the medium can be monitored by the page detector 34 and displayed on the fault diagnosis panel 14 as well.

Next, when the operator presses the opening/closing button 13 deeply again, the inserter part 4 rotates in the direction of arrow B shown in FIG. 2, and the notch hole 43 in the top plate 2 of the desk 1 is opened. When the abnormality affects the printer section 5 or the ink ribbon horn set 32 needs to be replaced, the operator pulls the slide lever 38, which can be easily operated from the cutout hole, forward to lock the lock cam 4.
0 in the direction of arrow F (counterclockwise) to unlock the rotation shaft 41 of the printer section 4. Next, when the printer section is pulled forward in the direction of the arrow, a series of rotating shafts 41 holding the printer section 5 slide forward using the side elongated holes 37 of the frame 36 as kite rails. Printer unit 5 moved forward to a predetermined position
Since the top surface is open, the open portion 50 and the notch hole 43 of the top plate 2 are almost aligned above the open portion 50. For this reason,
The ink ribbon cassette 32 placed on the carriage 33 of the printer section 5 can be easily replaced through the cutout hole 43 from one side of the top plate 2 of the desk 1. Also medium 1
Even if the printer 1 jams, the inside of the printer section 5 can be seen from above the top plate 2 through the cutout hole, and furthermore, the operator's hand can enter the printer section from above, so that the jamming can be quickly dealt with.

Effects of the Invention The present invention has a structure in which bankbooks and slips are received horizontally by an inserter and then conveyed vertically downward by a conveyance means to be brought to a printer, so that the work of inserting bankbooks and slips is not made difficult. (The depth of the device can be reduced to provide more leg room.)
