Abstract

PURPOSE:To check the accuracy of page turning-over operation by storing page number reading data as page number data on the next page when the next page is opened by a page turning-over means and read page number reading data is the next value of page number data on a page before being turned over. CONSTITUTION:When the next page is opened by the page turning-over means 3 and page number read data read by a page number reading means 34 is the next value of page number data on a page before being turned over, the page number reading data is stored as page number data on the next page by a page number storage means. If the page number of the next page does not succeed to the page number of the last page after pages of a bankbook are turned over and a page number is read, it is judged that the discontinuity of page numbers is caused by inaccurate page turning-over operation or an error in reading the page number of the next page. For the purpose, if page numbers are discontinuous even when the page number of the next page is read at plural times and it is decided plural times whether the page number are continuous or not, it is judged that the error is caused by inaccurate page turning-over operation. In this case, error processing is only performed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (AlTechnical Field) The present invention relates to a passbook printing device installed in an automatic transaction processing device or the like, and particularly to a passbook printing device that turns pages during printing.

(b) Summary of the Invention The passbook printing device according to the present invention reads the page number of the page that was opened at the time of insertion multiple times, and uses the matched page number reading data as the page number data, thereby accurately printing the page number data. At the same time, by comparing the page number reading data after page turning with the accurate page number data of the previous page, it is possible to correctly determine whether page turning has been performed correctly. .

(C1 Prior Art and Its Disadvantages - A typical passbook printing device is equipped with a barcode sensor that detects the barcode printed on the left edge of a passbook that is opened and inserted. The page number of the currently written page and the printed column are detected by the bar code sensor.

On the other hand, if there are multiple transaction details to be printed, and the printing field of the open page becomes full during printing, it is equipped with a pagination device that automatically opens the next page, and prints after turning the page. 'm
A passbook printing device has been proposed that can be used continuously.

In such a bankbook printing device, in order to determine whether or not page turning has been performed correctly, the page number of the page before page turning (hereinafter referred to as "previous page") and the page after page turning (hereinafter referred to as "previous page") are used. (hereinafter referred to as "next page"), and if the page number of the next page is a value that follows the page number of the previous page (the page numbers are consecutive), it is determined that the page has been turned correctly. The method was to do so.

Conventionally, the barcode of the previous page was read only once, so an error in the page number data of the previous page would cause the page number of the next page to be a value that follows the page number of the previous page. (numbers are discontinuous). In this way, if the page number data of the previous page was incorrect, an error would occur even if the page was turned correctly, and this would prevent smooth passbook printing.In order to solve this problem, we have developed a page turning device. A reverse-turning mechanism is added to the page, and if the page number of the next page is not a value that follows the page number of the previous page, the reverse-turning mechanism turns the page in the opposite direction to return to the previous page, and the page is turned again.

A passbook printing device that performs such processing has also been proposed.

However, since a reverse flipping mechanism is indispensable for performing such processing, the device becomes complicated, large in size, and expensive. For this reason,
There has been an inconvenience that affects the overall size and price of an automatic transaction processing device equipped with this passbook printing device.

(d) Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a passbook printing device that can accurately determine whether or not the page has been turned correctly by reliably reading the page number before turning the page. The purpose is to

(e) Structure and Effects of the Invention The present invention includes a page number reading means for reading the page number of an opened page of an inserted passbook, and a page number reading means for reading the page number of an opened page of an inserted passbook, and a page number reading means for reading the page number of an opened page of an inserted passbook, and a page number reading means for reading the page number of an opened page of an inserted passbook. In a passbook printing device having a page turning means, when the passbook is inserted, the page number reading means reads the page number of the opened page a plurality of times, and the plurality of page number reading data match. a page number setting means for setting the page number reading data as the page number data when the page number reading data is read by the page number reading means when the next page is opened by the page turning means, and before the page number reading data read by the page number reading means is turned over; and page number storage means for storing the page number read data as the page number data of the next page when the page number data of the page is the next value.

With the above configuration, according to the present invention, if the page number of the next page is not the same as the page number of the previous page as a result of reading the page number after turning the pages of the passbook, The page number data of the pages is accurate and has been read multiple times to determine a match. Therefore, it can be determined that the discontinuity in page numbers is the result of inaccurate page turning, or an error in reading the page number of the next page. Therefore, even if you read the page number of the next page multiple times and determine whether the page number is continuous or discontinuous multiple times, if the page number is discontinuous, it is an error that the page was turned incorrectly. It can be determined that there is. In this case, processing such as proceeding to error processing may be performed. In this way, it is possible to eliminate reading errors by reading multiple times, and by eliminating reading errors, it is possible to identify that page number discontinuity that does not disappear even after multiple readings is caused by page turning. be able to. As a result, it is possible to eliminate interruptions in the passbook printing process due to reading errors, making it possible to perform the passbook printing process smoothly, and when it stops due to an error, it can be identified as a page turning error, so that the clerk can This has the advantage of being easier to deal with.

Page number read data storage area (M2) for storing read data
A counter (M3) is set for counting the number of reading operations (number of tries). When reading a barcode when inserting a bankbook, page number reading data is also stored in the page number data storage area (Ml).

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the above-mentioned passbook printing device when a passbook is inserted. When the barcode 41 indicating the page number of the opened page after insertion into the passbook is conveyed to the position of the barcode sensor 1, the counter (M3 ) and read the barcode 41 (n2). The read data (page number read data) is first stored in the page number data storage area (Ml) (n3), and the barcode 41 is read again (n4). This data is then stored in the page number reading data storage area (M2) (n5). n
In step 6, the contents of Ml and M2 are compared, and if they match, it is assumed that the page number reading was accurate, and the contents of the page number data storage area (Ml) are set as the page number data, and the operation is terminated. If so, the number of tries in the counter (M3) is added, and if the content of the counter is less than 3 (n8), the operations from n2 onwards are repeated. If the counter is 3, it is determined that there is an abnormality in the reading function and the process proceeds to error handling operation (n9).

FIG. 3B is a flowchart showing the operation after page turning is performed. Clear the counter (M3) with nll and read the barcode 41 on the next page (n12). Store this data in the page number reading data storage area (M2) (n13), compare the contents of Ml and M2 in n14, and if the stored contents of M2 are the stored contents of Ml plus 1 (If the page numbers are continuous) Assuming that one page is being turned normally, enter the contents of M2 into Ml (set the page number read data as page number data) (n 15) Finish the action. On the other hand, if the memory content of M2 is not the memory content of Ml plus 1, a counter (M3) that counts the number of tries is added (n16).
. If the content of the counter is less than 3 (nl?), the operations below n12 are repeated, and if the counter is 3, it is assumed that the page is abnormal and the error handling operation (nl 8
), n6 corresponds to the page number setting means of the present invention, and n
15 corresponds to page number storage means.

According to this passbook printing device, the page number data of the previous page is accurate, so if the page number of the previous page and the page number of the next page are not consecutive after turning the page, ,
It can be determined that page turning has not been performed normally. In this way, it is possible to prevent page number reading errors with a simple mechanism without providing a reverse turning mechanism or the like, and it is also possible to prevent subsequent operations after page turning caused by reading errors. In addition, since it has been confirmed that the page number data of the next page is continuous with the accurate page number data of the previous page, it is as accurate as the page number data of the previous page, and when turning the page again, the page number The data functions as page number data for the previous page.
