b, 6c and 6d are provided respectively. Further, below the LED lamps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d of the operation panel 5, a display unit 7, a plurality of menu keys 8 and a start key 9 are provided.
Are provided.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the internal structure of the storage section 2a. The limit switch 1 is located at the back of the storage section 2a.
When the operation portion 11a of 0a is positioned to project and the tray 3a is stored in the storage portion 2a, the operation portion 11a is pushed by the tray 3a, the limit switch 10a is turned on, and the O
The N output is given to the control unit. The other storage units 2b, 2c, 2d have the same configuration as the storage unit 2a.

FIG. 3 shows a circuit configuration. Reference numeral 15 is a control unit, and the control unit 15 includes the above-mentioned display unit 7, menu key 8,
Start key 9, LED lamps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6
d, limit switches 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d
