Reference numeral 21 denotes a guide for running the certificate, which guides the certificate 1 from the document hopper 19 to the discharge port 22 and the intake box 20. A platen 23 is arranged opposite to the print head 13.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, when a certificate issuance command is sent from the central processing unit 9, a signal is given from the main control circuit 7 to the motor drive circuit 15, which drives a rotating mechanism such as a pulse motor (not shown). As a result, the hopping roller 2 and the feed roller 3 rotate, and the document 1 is transferred to the document hopper 19.
The sheets are fed out one by one and conveyed to the printing position.

At this time, the notification number 1a of the certificate 1 is detected by the detection circuit 5 via the reading sensor 4, and the notification number 1a is further determined by the determination circuit 6 and stored in the transaction management data buffer 8 of the main control circuit 7.

Next, when the certificate 1 comes to the printing position, the print head 13 is driven by the print head drive circuit 18,
Printing is performed on the print area 1b of the certificate 1, and magnetic stripe data is recorded on the magnetic stripe 1c of the certificate 1. That is, recording is performed by the magnetic stripe read/write head 11 via the magnetic stripe write/read circuit 17. After that, the main control circuit 7
A signal is sent to the magnet drive circuit 16 to open the discharge port shutter 10, and the certificate 1 is discharged from the discharge port 22.

However, if the notification number 1a of the certificate 1 cannot be read, or if a read failure occurs when reading the check after writing the magnetic stripe, the main control circuit 7 causes the motor drive circuit 15 to control the feed roller 3. At the same time, the switching blade 14 is rotated in the direction of arrow B by the magnetic drive circuit 16, and the certificate 1 is taken into the receiving box 20. This import enables the new certificate 1 to be dispensed again.

Therefore, if a discrepancy occurs during post-business inspection, it is possible to discover the troublesome transaction by examining the transaction record stored in the transaction management data buffer 8 and the notification number 1a of the certificate 1 issued for this transaction. Also, by checking the certificates imported into the import box 20, it is possible to determine whether two certificates were fed out or the notification number 1a of certificate 1.
It is possible to discover whether there is a read failure when reading a magnetic stripe or a read failure when checking a magnetic stripe after writing.

In this embodiment, the main control circuit 7 holds the transaction management data buffer 8, but the central processing unit 9 may also hold the transaction management data buffer 8. Further, the certificate issuance management data of the certificate 1 is not limited to the numerical notification number 1a, but may be managed by using a predefined specific mark such as a bar code and reading this mark.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the automatic document issuance device according to the present invention includes a reading means for reading the certificate issuance management data of the notification number written in advance in a predetermined area of the document, and a reading means for reading the certificate issuance management data read by the reading means. storage means for storing certificates together with transaction records; an importing means for importing certificates whose certificate issuance management data cannot be read by this reading means; If the certificate issuance management data can be read, the certificate is taken in by the capture means, and if the certificate issuance management data can be read, the certificate is transported to the discharge port.
