Next, the control unit 9 drives the traveling roller 18 at a normal speed to pass the passbook 19
While traveling in the passbook traveling direction 23, the page mark 20 is scanned within the page reading field 25 in the range from the position A above the page mark 20 to the position B below the page mark 20, and the print information is controlled by the control unit. The page mark 20 is analyzed by taking it in 9. If the previously obtained final printed page is not obtained, the page break by the automatic page breaker 17 and the scanning and analysis of the page mark 20 are repeated until it is obtained.

Subsequently, in the above process, when the final printed page is obtained, the setting of the page line reading field 25 of length L in the optical reading section 3 is canceled after the position B below the page mark 20. Without performing line analysis, passbook 1 up to position C above the (Gm-2) th line, which is the last print line scan start position.
9 is moved at a high speed by the conveying roller 18 in the passbook running direction. Then, again, the length L in the optical reading unit 3 is
While resetting the page line reading visual field, the speed of the conveying roller 18 is returned to the normal speed, the printed line 21 is scanned within the page line reading visual field 25, and the print information is taken into the control unit 9 to print the printed line. 21 analysis is performed.

The scanning of the printed lines starts from C and is performed up to the position D on the lower side of the (Gm + 2) th line. The reason for this is that the printed line 21 is in the passbook running direction 2
This is because the print misregistration amount for 3 is taken into consideration. After sending the number of pages and the number of printed lines that are the judgment results to the host computer and confirming the correctness, the instruction from the host computer is to print the transaction content from the line next to the judged printed line. It is performed by the printing unit 4. After printing all the transaction details,
The passbook 19 is conveyed to the magnetic stripe read / write unit 11, and the magnetic stripe read / write unit 11 updates the data for determining the final print page number and the final print position on the magnetic stripe 22 and the contents of other customer management information. It rewrites and returns the passbook 19 to the customer.
