To turn off. In the case where the entire withdrawal amount is handled by hand payment, when the transaction with the customer is completed, the mode switching unit 78 is switched to the clerk mode position and the entry button 79 is pressed to release the shutter 41.
May be opened, and post-processing of the bills dispensed to the dispensing port 4 may be performed.

As described above, according to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device of the present embodiment, even if the start / stop buttons 47 and 48 are pressed when the cancellation of the process occurs during the withdrawal process,
Since the shutter 41 is not opened, it is necessary to perform the operation of switching to the clerk mode position by the key of the mode switching unit 78, which is different from the normal operation. With this, when the processing cancellation occurs during the withdrawal processing, the teller can be made sure to recognize the occurrence of the withdrawal cancellation, so that the bills fed to the dispensing port 4 before the cancellation occurs in the teller. Can be prevented from being handled incorrectly.

In the case where any one of the bill-type stackers 11 to 13 is insufficient for the withdrawal amount and the withdrawal process is canceled, or a jam failure occurs in the machine 1 and the withdrawal process is performed.

0, unfit note storage box 10 and denomination-based stackers 11 to 11
13 is provided on the carriage 202 to pull out one unit. For this reason, the mode switching unit 78 is set to only select the online mode and the local mode, and a sensor (second sensor) for detecting the withdrawal of the carriage 202 is used.
An opening instruction means) may be provided, and an opening signal may be output from the sensor to the control unit 42 when the pull-out of the carriage 202 is detected, that is, when the pull-out operation of the carriage 202 is performed. As a result, the shutter 41 is opened when the unit including the dolly 202 is pulled out, so the teller can surely recognize the occurrence of the withdrawal cancellation, which is easier and more reliable than the work of obtaining the key from the administrator. Can be made. Of course, in order to further increase the certainty, the shutter 41 may be operated to be opened under the AND condition of switching the mode switching unit 78 to the clerk mode position and detecting the pulling out of the unit.

[0051]

As described in detail above, according to the bill handling machine of the first aspect of the present invention, when the withdrawal process is canceled during the withdrawal process, the control means is normally used. 1
The shutter is opened only when an opening signal is output from the second opening instruction means, which is different from the opening instruction means. Therefore, if the cancellation of the processing occurs during the withdrawal processing, the teller needs to perform an operation different from the normal operation, so that the cancellation of the withdrawal processing can be surely recognized, and before the cancellation occurs. It is possible to prevent the teller from mistakenly handling the bills fed to the dispensing port.

According to the bill handling machine of the second aspect of the present invention, since the second opening instruction means outputs the opening signal when the unit is pulled out, the reason for canceling the withdrawal process is eliminated. If you need to pull out the unit,
The shutter is opened by pulling out the unit.
Therefore, the teller can easily and surely recognize the occurrence of withdrawal cancellation.
