The first stamp tax mark (or stamp tax identifier; TAX1) is a mark (identifier or combination of letters and numbers) that includes a stamp tax corresponding to the face value (VAL=100,000), where the first gift certificate (GC1A) is issued and registered (S188) is an invalid gift certificate that has not been performed.

Subsequently, the printing apparatus 400 displays the second gift certificate issuance information (eg, company A, 100,000) on the second gift voucher paper GC2 on which the second printing paper management number D1-2 is printed, and the voucher issuance date (eg, 2017.7.30), the second use registration number (D2-2), and the first stamp duty mark (TAX1) are printed, and the second gift certificate (GC2A) cut by the cutter 450 is output. At this time, the second gift certificate (GC2A) is an invalid gift certificate for which issuance registration (S188) has not been performed.

Subsequently, the printing device 400 displays the third gift certificate issuance information (eg, company A, 50,000) on the third gift certificate paper GC3 on which the third printing paper management number D1-3 is printed, the gift certificate issuance date (eg, , 2017.7.30), the third use registration number (D2-3), and the second stamp mark (TAX2) are printed, and the third gift certificate (GC3A) cut by the cutter 450 is output. The second stamp tax mark (TAX2) is a mark including stamp tax corresponding to the face value (VAL=50,000), and in this case, the third gift certificate (GC3A) is an invalid gift certificate for which issuance registration (S188) has not been performed.

The last gift certificate (GC7A) is printed and issued in the same or similar manner to the process in which each of the gift certificates (GC1A to GC3A) is printed and issued. That is, the printing device 400 provides the 7th gift certificate issuance information (eg, company A, 50,000), the voucher issuance date (eg, 2017.7.30), the 7th use registration number (D2-7), and the 2nd stamp duty mark (TAX2) are printed, and the 7th gift certificate (GC7A) cut by the cutter 450 is output. At this time, the seventh gift certificate (GC7A) is an invalid gift certificate for which issuance registration (S188) has not been performed. The present invention prints a printing paper management number in the pre-printing area of the gift certificate paper to manage the gift certificate paper (or gift certificate printing paper).

Each use registration number (D2-1 to D2-7) printed on each post-printing area (RF1 to RF7) of each gift certificate (GC1A to GC7A) may be a combination of letters and numbers, one-dimensional barcode, two-dimensional barcode , or a 3D barcode, but is not limited thereto.

As described above, the gift certificate issuance information, the gift certificate issuance date, the use registration number, and the stamp tax mark are printed on the post print area of the gift certificate paper as post print information processed by the operation server 300 .

Each printing paper management number (D1-1 to D1-7) is printed on each gift certificate paper (GC1 to GC7) according to the printing method of the printing company or the Mint, so it is not erased over time, but each use registration number (D2-1 to D2-7) is the printing method (eg, ink jet printing method, laser jet printing method, ink ribbon printing) method , thermal printing (thermal printing, direct thermal printing) method, or Since it is printed according to the thermal transfer printing method), it may be erased over time.

Therefore, when each valid gift certificate (GC1A to GC7A) is used, in order to check the validity of each valid gift certificate (GC1A to GC7A), the operation server 300 checks each printing paper management number (D1-1 to D1-7) It can be used as an authentication (or confirmation) number for authentication (or confirmation). This will be described in detail with reference to steps S250 , S260 , and S265 of FIG. 6 .

The user of the computing device 200 sets the first printing paper management number D1-1 printed on the first gift certificate GC1A and the first use registration number D2-1 as a pair through the input device 210 When input to the computing device 200 (S182), the computing device 200 through the first communication network (NT1) the first printing paper management number (D1 = D1-1) and the first use registration number (D2 = D2) -1) is transmitted to the operation server 300 (S186).

The operation server 300 receives the first printing paper management number (D1-1) and the first use registration number (D2-1), and the first use registration number (D2) stored in the first table (TABLE1) of FIG. -1), the first printing paper management number (D1-1) and the first use registration number (D2-1) are issued and registered as a pair (S188).

For example, the operation server 300 uses the first use registration number (D2-1) stored in the first table (TABLE1) and the first use registration number (D2-1) transmitted from the computing device 200 for issuance registration.
