Next, the operation of the present invention based on the above configuration will be explained. First, a rolled ticket (P) is pulled out from the spool (1) and kept on standby with its leading end held between the feed rollers (6). When issuing a ticket or admission ticket that can be used to transfer to a subway, etc., the step motor (10) of the first conveyance system (X) is driven and rotated by a predetermined number of rotations at a rotation speed of 30 m/s. In some cases, rolls of ticket paper (
P) is transmitted for a predetermined length. Then, the leading edge of the ticket (P) that has been carried out is in a printing standby state while being held between the printing section (2) and the pressing roller (8), and in this state, the cutter part (7) As a result of this operation, the rolled paper ticket (P) is cut into a length required for a train ticket or admission ticket, that is, 57.5 mm. The cut paper ticket (p) is conveyed by the rotation of the step motor (10) and is printed in the printing section (2).
) The card information is printed on the front of the card.

On the other hand, the drive motor (20) of the second conveyance system (30)
It rotates at a rotational speed higher than that of the step motor (10) of the transport system (X), that is, 450 m/s, and when printing is finished in the printing section (2) of the first transport system (X), The tip of the ticket (p) reaches the gap between the guide roller (lla) and a separate guide roller (15) and is guided, and the ticket (p)
At the same time as the rear end leaves the printing section (2), the guide roller (step 5) moves to the opposing guide roller (Ila) and presses the ticket (p) against the guide roller (lla), thereby printing the ticket. Paper (p) is held between conveyor belts (12) and (13) and conveyed along a conveyance path (16a).

Next, on the conveyance path (16a), magnetic information as ticket face information is written on the back side of the ticket (p) by a writing head (17), and the written magnetic information is further written by a reading head (18). Read rechecked.

Therefore, if it is determined that the ticket is abnormal as a result of the reading check, an abnormal signal is sent to the solenoid and the franc <(31
) in the clockwise direction, the defective note (p) is guided by the flapper (31) and stored in the collection box (23). On the other hand, if it is determined that the spring is normal, no signal is sent from the reading head (18) to the solenoid, and by holding the flapper (31) in the position shown by the solid line, the normal ticket (p) is detected by the sensor ( 22), and can be further conveyed to the outlet (4) and taken out.

Furthermore, as a result of the reading check with the reading head (18),
Even if an abnormal ticket (p) determined to be abnormal does not operate due to a malfunction of the flapper (31) and is transported toward the takeout port (4), it can be checked by the sensor (22), and the second By stopping the drive motor (20) of the conveyance system (normal), the abnormal ticket (p) is transferred to the ejection port (4).
