Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the reprinting of the content of all counting from the beginning at the restoration of a failure, by storing the storage of the content of counting if the failure of power interruption takes place at the deposition of cash deposited in the lump. CONSTITUTION:A failure detecting section 105 detects the failure if the failure of power interruption takes place before printing or on the way of printing at a journal print section 102 or a confirmation printing section 114. When a detecting signal is received at a control section 100, the status before printing or on the way of print is stored in a storage section 101. The storage section 101 is backed up with a battery 113 in this case. Further, when the failure of power interruption is restored, the detecting section 105 stops the output of the detecting signal. The control section 100 reads out the status from the storage section 101 with the reapplication of power supply and all the status is printed again at the journal print section 102 or the confirmation print section 114.

Further, the protruding end of the back-up plate 81 engages with the groove 87a of the hook 87, and when the passage of a banknote is detected by the detector 8°, the drive motor 86 is driven, and the back-up plate 81 is The inside of the safe 131 can be gradually lowered. And the safe 131 is recessed #l
If you move in the direction of l s 7 a, the back up plate 8
1 is designed to be compatible with the groove 87a.

The storage section 14 configured in this way can be constructed by rotating the grooved cam 77 in the direction of arrow J via the reversible motor 76.
Due to the action of the cam follower 79 that engages with the cam groove 77a, the cam lever 78 is rotated in the direction of the arrow. This rotation is transmitted to the second partition plate 72 via the engagement hole 72b.

Since such a storage section 14 is equipped with a two-stage partition mechanism 66 consisting of first and second partition plates 71, 72, etc., the storage section 14 is equipped with a two-stage partition mechanism 66 that includes first and second partition plates 71, 72. The moving space can be reduced to about half that of a conventional one-stage type, and the space between the safes 131, . . . can be narrowed, making it possible to downsize the storage device.

The above storage unit 101) tj0 number of sheets memo lj l 03,・
. . , are powered up by a battery (backup power source) 113.

Further, the control unit 100 converts the operating status of the equipment, such as a change in the equipment status, information on the occurrence of an abnormality, and the time of occurrence, into an error code, and causes the printing unit 102 to issue a journal in which the operating status is printed. Further, the control section 100 includes a mechanism control section 104 that drives the internal mechanism.
It controls the Furthermore, the control section 100

02 and the authentication printing unit 114 to print again.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, the operator now sets the mode designation switch 21 to operator mode, aligns the directions of the banknotes P, inserts them all at once into the input slot 6 in a standing position, and inserts the counting start key 23. Then, the control section 100 drives the mechanism control section 104 and lights up the counting start key 23.

15, and the detection unit 15 detects the denomination, authenticity, fitness, etc. of the transported banknote P.

As a result, the banknotes P are sorted into separate temporary stacking sections 111, . . . for each denomination according to the amount determination result.

Further, the control unit 100 adds the number of coins for each denomination sorted and accumulated in the temporary accumulation units 111, .

41d. When all the banknotes P input at once have been accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 111,..., the control section 100 stops the mechanism control section 104 and turns off the counting start key 25. When the storage key 24 is inserted, the control section lo is activated.

turns on the storage key 24, determines the print command, and drives the mechanism control section 104 to store the cash in the safe 131, . . . .

Also, at this time, when the storage key 24 or the authentication key 1150 is inserted, the gate of the cyanide circuit 112 opens.
The number of coins for each denomination is output from the number of coins memory 103, . . . . In this case, the control unit 100 counts the total amount, total number of coins, etc., and cumulatively stores the counting result and the number of coins for each denomination in the cumulative storage area of the storage unit 101.
The journal printing unit 102 or the authentication printing unit 114 prints on the journal or authentication paper.

Therefore, when a power-off failure occurs in the printing unit 102 or the authentication printing unit 114 before or during printing, the failure is detected by the failure detection unit 105 and a detection signal is output.

Then, the regulation unit 100 determines that there is a failure based on the detection signal, and prints the special status, such as the number of sheets for each denomination, in the journal printing unit 102 or the authentication printing unit 114, which indicates the status before printing or in the process of printing. It is stored in the state storage area in the storage unit 101. At this time, the storage unit 101 such as the sheet number memory 103 . . . is powered up by the battery 113. When the power-off failure is recovered, the detection signal is no longer output from the outside failure detector 105. When the power is turned on again, the control unit 100 changes the state storage area in the storage unit 101 to the journal printing unit 1.
02 or when it is determined that a power outage failure has occurred before or during printing in the authentication printing unit 114, a series of banknotes P

. . , and all of them are printed again on authentication paper or a journal by the journal printing section 102 or the authentication printing section 114.

In this way, when storing cash that has been inserted in bulk, if a power failure occurs in the device before or during printing of the storage journal or authentication printout, the memory of the counting contents is retained and when the failure is cleared, All counts are reprinted from the beginning. This makes it impossible to perform unauthorized printing and also makes it easier to see.

It should be noted that the same operation as described above also occurs when coins C are used as cash.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when printing S series of data, it is possible to prevent fraud even before or during printing due to a failure due to a power outage of the device, and furthermore, it is possible to prevent the printing from occurring in a manner that is very easy to read. We provide data processing equipment that can perform the following operations.
