FIG.

2, the check loaded on the deposit-and-withdrawal portion 10 at the deposit counting step is cut out by the separation portion 11 and transported to the identification portion 20 along the first transport path 101, 20, and then is conveyed to the check temporary storage unit 40 along the second conveying path 102 and temporarily stored.

3, the check temporarily stored in the check temporary storage unit 40 by the user's deposit request is transmitted to the second conveying path 102, the discriminating unit 20, the first conveying path 101, 5 conveyance path 105 and the fourth conveyance path 104a to the third conveyance path 103. [ After the deposit confirmation information is printed by the printer unit 30 on the check passing through the third conveying route 103, the check information is stored in the deposit check storage units 53 and 54 via the eighth conveying route 108, Storage is performed.

Meanwhile, in the deposit counting process, it is possible to distinguish whether the check is inverted or not by the discriminating unit 20. The checks determined to require the inversion of the checks deposited as a result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 20 are temporarily stored in the check temporary storage unit 40 and then stored in the second transport path 102, the discrimination unit 20, Is conveyed to the third conveying path 103 via the first conveying path 101, the fifth conveying path 105 and the fourth conveying path 104a. In this case, the direction of the three-way switching gate 130 is set such that the third conveying path 103 and the eighth conveying path 108 are connected to each other, and the check of the third conveying path 103 is connected to the eighth conveying path 108 And is then stopped on the eighth conveyance path 108. [ Thereafter, the three-way switching gate 130 switches the direction so that the eighth conveying path 108 and the seventh conveying path 107 are connected to each other, and the check on the eighth conveying path 108 is switched The second conveying path 101 and the second conveying path 104 are connected to each other via the seventh conveying path 107, the second conveying path 102, the judging unit 20, the first conveying path 101, the fifth conveying path 105, 3 conveyance path 103, and then the deposit confirmation information is printed by the print unit 30. [ The checks for which the printing is completed are stored in the deposit check storage units 53 and 54 via the eighth conveying route 108, thereby depositing and receiving the items.

4, the withdrawn checks stored in the withdrawal check storage units 51 and 52 are stored on the eighth conveyance path 108, The discrimination unit 20, the first conveying path 101, the fifth conveying path 101, the fifth conveying path 101, the third conveying path 101, Is delivered to the deposit / withdrawal portion (10) through the conveying path (105) and the fourth conveying path (104b), and is stacked by the stack portion (12).

5, the banknotes stacked in the deposit-and-withdrawal portion 10 are separated by the separating portion 11 and conveyed to the discriminating portion 20 along the first conveying route 101, Is stored in the banknote storage unit 60 through the second conveying path 102, the seventh conveying path 107, the third conveying path 103, and the ninth conveying path 109 after being discriminated.

6, the bill stored in each cassette 61, 62, 63, 64 of the paper currency storage 60 by the user's withdrawal request is transferred to the ninth conveyance route 109, the third conveyance route 103 Out through the seventh conveying path 107, the second conveying path 102, the judging unit 20, the first conveying path 101, the fifth conveying path 105 and the fourth conveying path 104b, (10) and stacked by the stack portion (12).
