The conveyance guide 3 includes a conveyance mechanism 5 for conveying the booklets P inserted through the insertion slot, a positioning mechanism 7 for positioning the booklets P at a predetermined position, and a winding mechanism 9 for turning over the pages of the booklets P one by one.
is provided.

The conveyance mechanism 5 includes first and second drive rollers 11 and 13 arranged on the lower surface side of the conveyance guide 3 in front and behind, and transfer rollers 15 and 17 arranged above the rollers 11 and 13.
The second drive roller 13 and transfer roller 17 also serve as feed rollers of the winding mechanism 9. The first and second drive rollers 11 and 13 are fixed to a roller shaft, and pulleys 11a and 13a are attached to the roller shaft. Motor pulley 1 of a first motor 19 (step motor) that can be reciprocated
9a and an endless transmission belt 21,
It can be rotated by power from a motor 19. 1st・
The second driving rollers 11 and 13 protrude upward through guide holes formed in the conveyance guide 3, and rolling rollers 15 and 17
The booklets P can be transported by the rollers that rotate while in contact with the rollers.

The positioning mechanism 7 performs positioning by optically detecting the trailing edge of the transported booklet ff1P, and consists of a light emitting element 23 that emits light and a light receiving element 25 that receives light from the light emitting element 23. There is. The light receiving element 25 ensures the operating state of the first motor 19 when the light emitted from the light emitting element 23 is blocked by the booklet P. It also functions to stop the operation of the first motor 19 at the same time when the booklet P moves and reaches the edge of the terminal and receives the light from the light emitting element 23. Thereby, the positioning state in which the booklets P are stopped on the conveyance guide 3 is ensured.

The page mechanism 7 has the above-mentioned second drive roller 13 and rolling roller 17 which are vertically opposed and serve as feed rollers, and a fixed member 27 and a friction roller 29 which are vertically opposed to each other.・19 is in front of the binding W of booklet P,
That is, it is placed within the first half area of the page. As mentioned above, the second drive roller 13 is rotated by the power of the first motor 19, but the upper transfer roller 17 is rotated by the support shaft 31.
It is rotatably attached to the Both ends of the support shaft 31 are supported by support arms 33, and the arms 33
It is biased counterclockwise by a biasing spring 35 interposed therein. Thereby, a desired contact pressure between the second drive roller 13 and the rolling roller 17 is ensured within the range of the spring pressure of the biasing spring 35.

The friction row 529 is fixed to a roller shaft 39 that is rotatably controlled by a second motor 37 (step motor). This second motor 37 is controlled to be turned on or off based on a signal from the mark detector 41.

That is, since the page is turned by the rotation of the friction roller 29, the number of rotations of the roller 29, so-called the number of steps of the second motor 37, is calculated in advance, and when the number of steps of the motor 37 reaches the count value, the motor 37 is the one that stops. At this time, the mark S on the next page is detected by the mark detector 41, and the count value returns to the reference value. Thereafter, the above operation is continued until the mark detector 41 detects the required page.

On the other hand, the mark detector 41 is located above the positioned mark S and guides the black reflected light from the light vA43 to the light receiving section 49 via a lens system 47 disposed within the cylinder body 45. , an image is formed on the light-receiving surface of the light-receiving section 41 by a lens system 47. The light receiving section 49 is

When the booklets P are inputted, the control unit 51 contains information such as information for reading a magnetic stripe (not shown) provided on the back side of the booklets P and determining the necessary pages based on the signal. Information for confirming the mark S on the page, information for calculating the count value of the number of steps of the second motor 37, information for determining whether it is necessary or not, and controlling the operation of the first motor 19, etc. are input. The first and second motors 19 and 37 can be controlled based on the detection signal from the mark detector 41. It should be noted that the magnetic stripe provided on the back surface of the booklet P is recorded so that the next printed portion is covered after printing, which will be described later, is completed. Also,
The light source 43 is mounted on the lower surface of the board 53 via a support 55 so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle.

The distance between the center of the light receiving section 49 and the center of the positioning mechanism 7 is approximately equal to the distance between the mark S of the booklet P and the trailing edge. That is, the arrangement relationship between the light receiving section 49 and the positioning mechanism 7 is set so that the positioning mechanism 7 detects the trailing edge of the booklet P when the mark S is located at the center of the light receiving section 49.

Note that in front of the mark detector 41 is a printing process, and a pair of vertically opposing feed rollers 57 and 59 are provided. The lower feed roller 59 is fixed to a roller shaft around which a pulley 61 is wound around the transmission belt 21, and serves as a driving roller. Further, the first conveyance path 63a and the second conveyance path 63b of the printing process are provided in series and are driven by the first motor 1. The conveyance path 63a
