(Operation) The operation of the present invention based on the above configuration will be described. a): Operation of the configuration (1) The passbook 2 is controlled by the control unit / driver 62 so that
The paper is conveyed over, stops at the reading position of the image sensor 12, and reads the page of the passbook 2. Then, the passbook 2 is stopped at the printing position of the printing mechanism 11, and the printing information is printed on the passbook 2 by the printing mechanism 11.

When page turning is required in the printing process, the control unit / driver 62 controls / drives the passbook 2 to the page turning mechanism 9 for page turning. When the passbook 2 is sent to the page turning mechanism 9 and the leading end of the passbook is detected by the passbook detection sensor 53, the control unit / driver 62 causes the conveyance motor 21 and the turn page motor 20 based on the number of steps corresponding to the passbook page. To rotate.

By the rotation drive, the carry motor 21 and the turn page motor 20 rotate by the number of steps and stop. This stop position is the optimum position for turning over the pages of the passbook. In this case, the page turning roller 32 and the pressing roller 41, and the feeding roller 37 and the pressing roller 40 are stopped with the passbook 2 being held therebetween.

In the above state, the roller open magnet is driven on to open the pressing rollers 40 and 41, and then the pressure magnet 23 is driven on. Therefore, the pressure 30 pushes the passbook 2 upward. After that, the roller open magnet is turned off and the pressing rollers 40 and 41 are closed.

Next, the controller / driver 62 drives the turn page motor 20 to rotate the page turning roller 32 without rotating the feed roller 37, whereby the page turning is caused by the friction between the page turning roller 32 and the page surface. The operation starts, which causes the page to swell. Then, the movable guide plate 29 is pushed up and rotated as the page swells.

At this time, when the shielding plate 28 provided on the movable guide plate 29 shields the light of the turning detection sensor 45 and the turning detection sensor 45 detects the highest position of the bulge, the controller / driver 62 causes the turn page motor to rotate. Stop the rotation of 20.

Then, the control section / driver 62 releases the excitation of the pressure magnet 23 and lowers the pressure 30. Next, when the controller / driver 62 turns on the roller open magnet, only the page that the pressing roller 41 opens and turns up swells and the other pages become flat.

After that, the controller / driver 62 turns off the roller open magnet to close the pressing roller 41 and rotate the turn page motor 20, and the turning roller 32 rotates. Therefore, the swollen page is rolled up and flipped up.

At this time, when the rebounding detection sensor 46 detects the rebounding state, the controller / driver 62 stops the rotation of the turn page motor 20 based on the information from the rebounding detection sensor 46. As a result, the rotation of the turning roller 32 is stopped. Then, the flipped page is held by the guide surface of the separator 27.

Next, the controller / driver 62 controls the carry motor 2
By rotating 1 and the turn page motor 20 in the opposite direction to the above, the page turning roller 32 and the feed roller 37 rotate in the opposite direction, and the passbook 2 is moved to complete the page turning.

B) Operation of the configuration (2) The control means reads the passbook page by the image sensor 12 and grasps it before turning the page of the passbook 2, and adjusts to the passbook page when turning the page. To control the first and second driving means. With this control, the passbook 2 is conveyed by the page-turning roller 32 and the feed roller 37 to an optimum page-turning position that matches the passbook page and stopped, and the page-turning is performed at that position.

C) Operation of the configuration (3) The control means detects the passbook thickness by the thickness detection mechanism 13 before turning the page of the passbook 2 and grasps it, and adjusts to the passbook thickness when turning the page. To control the first and second driving means. By this control, the passbook 2 is conveyed by the page-turning roller 32 and the feed roller 37 to an optimum page-turning position according to the passbook thickness and stopped, and the page-turning of the passbook is performed at that position.

D) Operation of the configuration (4) The control means reads the passbook page by the image sensor 12 before grasping the page of the passbook 2 and grasps it. The first and second driving means are controlled. By this control, the passbook 2 is conveyed by the page turning roller 32 and the feed roller 37 to an optimum page turning position matched with the passbook page and stopped, and at the stop position, the turning roller moving means is controlled to move in accordance with the passbook page. As a result, the page turning is performed while the page turning roller 32 is moved in the vertical direction in accordance with the passbook page.

E) Operation of the configuration (5) The control means detects the passbook thickness by the thickness detecting mechanism 13 before turning the page of the passbook 2 and grasps it, and adjusts to the passbook page when turning the page. To control the first and second driving means. By this control, the passbook 2 is turned over and the roller 32 is turned over.
Then, the feeding roller 37 conveys the sheet to the optimum page turning position that matches the passbook page and stops it.

At the stop position, the page turning roller moving means is controlled to move in accordance with the passbook thickness, so that the page turning is performed while moving the page turning roller 32 in the vertical direction.

F) With the above configuration, page turning can be performed at an optimum position at all times, so that page turning operation can be performed smoothly and in a short time by preventing the passbook from being turned over. In addition, since it is possible to eliminate the conventional page rewinding mechanism, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and realize the downsizing of the apparatus.
