■ When the cash safe 2 is set in the banknote recycling unit 30, the control section 300 detects this, reads out the information in the memory 231 of the control section 23 of the cash safe 2 from the optical connector CN2, and sends the information to the control section 34. Notice.

[0094] The control unit 34 compares and checks the usable device ID of the read information with the ID of its own ATM. Alternatively, the cash safe ID of the read information and the usable cash safe ID in the control unit 34 are compared and checked.

■If this consistency check is good, the control unit 34 accepts the set OK and the processing information (information on the cash safe 2, A
TMID, processing staff ID, processing date and time, etc.) are transmitted to the terminal controller 4a or host 4b, the host 4b manages the history, and the process proceeds to step (2).

■On the other hand, if this consistency check is defective,
If there is no recovery processing, the process proceeds to step (2), and if there is recovery processing, the control unit 34 indicates that a cash safe with poor integrity (NG) has been set, the cash safe ID, and the AT
The MID or the like is sent to the terminal controller 4a or the host 4b to inquire whether the cash safe can be used.

The terminal controller 4a, the host 4b, or the automatic cash setting/recovery device 1 determines whether the cash safe can be used, and returns whether or not the cash safe can be used.

If the control unit 34 is usable, an instruction to start up the ATM and information regarding the NG safe are sent, and the automatic cash setting/recovery device 1 sets the cash safe 2 whose consistency is NG to the ATM. The management information of the cash safe 2 in the hard disk device 56 is updated so that the cash safe 2 scheduled to be set can be set in another ATM. Then proceed to step ■,
