When the control unit 250 receives a release command for a predetermined amount of money from the user through the user interface unit 270, the controller 250 generates a bill release command signal corresponding to the amount of money.

For example, when receiving a money release command for 35,000 won from the user, the controller 250 generates a bill release command signal for three thousand won bills, one 5,000 won bills. In addition, the controller 250 identifies the winding type information corresponding to each cassette storage unit recorded in the database unit 260, and transmits a banknote release command signal to a cassette having a banknote corresponding to the amount of money.

For example, the winding type information corresponding to the first cassette storage unit 281 is "Thousand won ticket", and the winding type information corresponding to the second cassette storage unit 282 is "5,000 won winding", and the third cassette storage unit 283. When the corresponding paper type information is "10,000 won" and the paper type information corresponding to the fourth cassette storage unit 284 is "10,000 won", the control unit 250 commands the 3rd cassette 230 to release three bills of 10,000 won. The signal may be transmitted to the clutch 251, and a bill release command signal of “one thousand won bill” may be transmitted to the clutch 251 to the second cassette 220.

In addition, when all the 10,000 won bills stored in the third cassette 230 are not released and the banknote is not present in the third cassette 230, the controller 250 detects this and the same information as the book type information of the third cassette 230. It is possible to identify that the cassette having the winding type information is the fourth cassette 240, and transmit the banknote release command signal of “3 thousand won ticket” to the fourth cassette 240 to the clutch 251.

In addition, when there is only one thousand won ticket in the third cassette 230, the controller 250 releases one thousand won ticket through the third cassette 230, and then sends a bill of "two thousand won tickets" to the fourth cassette. By sending a signal, it is possible to carry out the release of three original Yuan tickets.

The control unit 250 controls the operation of the clutch 251 by transmitting a banknote release command signal to the clutch 251 provided in each cassette, thereby releasing a predetermined banknote through the banknote discharge port 290, to the user Can provide.

As described above, it is possible to grasp the paper type information of the bill included in each cassette simply by installing a predetermined number of projection buttons at different numbers and positions in the cassette storage unit and the cassette without the need for installation and operation of electrical equipment. In addition, it is possible to prevent the cassette containing bills with different kinds of bills from being stored in the cassette storage portion in advance.
