Further, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a ticket.

The operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail below. First, when the power is turned on to the one-paper leaf/cheek marking device, the first sensor 35 detects that the single sheet 36 is connected to the roller 37.3g and the roller 34.35g.
Check whether there exists between. As a result of the check, if it is determined that the ticket 36 does not exist, the ticket 4 is removed from the stacking section according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
A process of rolling out 3 is performed. First, step 841
At this point, the ticket feeding operation starts. This drives a transport drive motor (not shown), operates a power transmission clutch (not shown), and drives the pickup roller 41.
is rotated in the direction of arrow H, and the Ilt slip 43 is fed out in the direction of arrow H. By the m-slip separating action of the feed roller 40 and the gate roller 39, the edged ejection slips 43 are sent out from the slip stacking section to the transport path of the main body of the apparatus.

The fed-out qt ticket 36 is sent out by the roller 37.3g, and the first sensor 35 detects the qt ticket 36 in step S2.
It is determined whether or not it has been detected. and.

In step S46, the first sensor 35 is activated for a certain period of time (
If the cut sheet 36 is not detected even after the unwinding monitoring time (unwinding monitoring time) has elapsed, it is determined that unwinding has failed. If the first sensor 35 detects the ticket 36 in step S42, it is determined in step S43 whether or not a certain period of time 1°0 has passed since the ticket was detected. Step S4
In 3, if it is determined that a certain period of time has elapsed,
In step S44, the clutch that transmits power to the ticket collecting section 43 and the roller 37.3g is disconnected to disconnect the drive, so that the ticket 36 that has been squeezed out is removed from the first
As shown in the figure, the jet head 43 is completely unrolled from the accumulation part, and is stopped at a position where it engages with the roller 37.3g in the apparatus main body and is a distance away from the first sensor 35. FIG. 5 is a time chart showing the state of signal output in the above operation.Next, in step 846, it is determined again whether or not the first sensor 35 detects the presence of the cut sheet 36. If so, the process ends.

This state is the state in which the device is ready to start trading. That is, the machine is in a standby state in which the ticket 36 is being fed out.

In this state, in the insertion port 1, as shown in Figure 2 (a) and (b).
When the passbook 15 shown in is inserted, one passbook 15 has rollers 5°6, rollers 7.8, rollers 9 and 10, and rollers 12.13.
The position of the passbook 15 is detected by means such as a sensor (not shown), and the magnetic stripe 16 of the passbook 15 is conveyed in order.
It stops at the position where it reaches the magnetic head 14.

Then, the magnetic head 14 reads information recorded on the magnetic stripe 16, such as the account number and the number of printed lines.

Thereafter, the bankbook I5 is transported, and the printing section consisting of the print head 20 and platen 21 performs necessary printing. When the page is fully printed and there are still unprinted pages, the passbook 15 is conveyed to the page change section consisting of the page change roller 29 via the rollers 18, 19, 22, 23, and 27, 28. Then, the inner paper 55 of the passbook 15 is turned over by the page change roller 29 to open a new unused page 6 After that, the passbook 15 is conveyed in the direction of the insertion slot 1, further conveyed to the lower part of the image reader 11, and then 11 reads the page code 17 indicating the number of pages in the bankbook 15, and checks whether the page has been turned correctly. If the result of the check is normal, the passbook 15 is conveyed to the printing section again and the remaining printing is performed. When printing is completed, the passbook 15 is transported to the insertion slot 1 and returned to the customer. If you forget to remove the passbook 15 from the insertion slot 1, remove the passbook 15 from the collection case 4 inside the device.
Collect and store within 8 days.

As mentioned above, in the handling process of the bankbook 15 of this device, the power of the ticket 36 that is already in advance and waiting to be fed out may be separated from the main conveyance drive by a clutch (not shown). Yes, it does not interfere with the processing of passbook 15 at all.

Next, when a request for the cut sheet 36 is made, a motor (not shown) and a clutch that transmits power to the accumulating section and rollers 38 and 39 are operated, and the cut sheet 36 is processed based on the control flow shown in FIG.
6 is fed out and conveyed to the printing section.

That is, the ticket 36 on the first sensor 35 is transferred toward the second sensor 32 by the rollers 33 and 34 when the conveyance path is activated. At the same time, in step 561.

A new ticket 43 is fed out from the ticket stacking section onto the conveyance path and transported by rollers 37 and 38.Next, in step S62, after the first sensor 35 detects that there is no Q11 ticket, It is determined whether the presence of a ticket is detected again. Then, in step S69, if it is determined that the presence of a ticket is not detected within a certain period of time (feeding monitoring time), it is determined that feeding has failed and a retry is performed. If it is determined in step S62 that there is a ticket, it is determined in step S63 whether or not a certain period of time To has elapsed. In step S63, if it is determined that the predetermined time To has elapsed, step S64
In , it is determined whether the first sensor 35 has detected a light (without a Qt ticket) during a certain period of time 1°1 before the second sensor 32 detects the presence of a Qt ticket. If the first sensor 35 does not detect the absence of a ticket, it is determined that a plurality of tickets have been fed out toward the second sensor 32, the tickets are collected, and a retry is performed.

If the first sensor 35 detects that there is no ticket, the clutch that transmits power to the ticket stacking section and the rollers 37, 38 is disengaged in step S65, and the operation of the ticket stacking section and the rollers 37, 38 are disengaged. rotation stops. Therefore, the newly fed ticket 36 stops at a distance #lL from the first sensor 35, as shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 shows the signal states of the first sensor 35 and the second sensor 32 at this time.

Next, in step S66, it is determined whether or not the first sensor 35 detects the presence of a single sheet, and if it is determined that the presence of a qt sheet is not detected, the second sheet is excluded. It is determined that it has failed, and one collection/retry is executed. Further, if it is determined in step S66 that the first sensor 35 detects that 11 has a vote, then in step S67, the length of the ticket initially stopped at the position of the first sensor 35 is not normal. It is determined whether or not there was. This is performed, for example, by detecting the transit time of m votes. That is, at this time, since the main conveyance path section of the device is connected to the power from the motor, the first
The ticket that has been stopped by the sensor 35 is sent to a printing section that includes a print head 20 and a platen 21. Then, in step S68, necessary printing is performed,
Thereafter, it is transported to the insertion port 1 and handed over to the customer. In the event that a musical accompaniment ticket is forgotten at the insertion slot 1, the relevant ticket is collected and stored in a collection case 48 within the device. Further, if it is determined in step S67 that the passing time of the qt slip is not normal, it is assumed that a plurality of sheets are fed out in a stacked manner.

Collection/retry is executed.

By the way, I am waiting to pay out 36 tickets or 1 bankbook 15.
Even if the ticket accumulating section is pulled out from the main body of the device to replenish the tickets 43 during processing, if the number of tickets 36 reaches the required 1p, the rollers 37 and 38 are moved as shown in FIG. Since the processing can be continued and carried out without the device going down by sending out the tickets 36 that are being fed out and waiting, it is generally possible to easily replenish the B tickets 43 without downtime. Then, when the qt ticket accumulating section is reset to the main body of the device, the control flow shown in Fig. 4 is automatically followed.
In the same way as when the device is powered on, by feeding out the ticket 36 to the first sensor 35 and leaving it on standby, subsequent processing can be performed without any hindrance.

On the other hand, when pulling out the ticket stacking section for the purpose of replenishing tickets 43, if the +B ticket stacking section is carelessly moved during ticket feeding operation, it may cause jamming of tickets 43 or damage to the device. , 111 slips 43 are fed out by electrically operating the solenoid 46 shown in FIG. , the slip stacking section was locked and QL slips were being fed out due to careless withdrawal operations.9
It is possible to prevent ticket jams and damage to the device. When the feeding operation of m slips is completed, by restoring the solenoid 46, the latch lever 45 and pin 47
By releasing the engagement, the ticket stacking section can be pulled out at any time.

In this way, by using the merge conveyance path after the ticket stacking section as a standby conveyance path for tickets, it is extremely easy and inexpensive to
A one-vote, no-down replenishment system can be realized.

In the embodiment of the present invention, an example of waiting for delivery of m sheets has been described, but if the length of the confluence path from the ticket stacking section to the main conveyance path is made longer, a plurality of jp- sheets can be fed out accordingly. It goes without saying that the votes can be stored and the vote accumulating section can be kept pulled out from the main body of the device for a long time depending on the number of votes.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, no-down replenishment of paper sheets can be realized in an extremely simple and low-cost manner, and it is possible to reliably prevent jams and damage to the device due to erroneous operations during the feeding operation of one sheet.
