Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a recording medium processing device such as a ticket issuing device that writes and reproduces information on a recording medium and also prints information.

In a conventional ticket issuing device, as shown in FIG. 1, a printing section 8 prints on a printing area of a recording medium 2 sent out from a paper feed section 1, and then recording information is recorded by a writing head 5. Written in the magnetic recording area of medium 2. After this, read head 7
The written information is reproduced, the written information and the reproduced information are compared and verified, and if they match, they are sent to the stacker 12. If they do not match, the waste marking section 14 marks the recording medium 2 with an ink roller, a stamp, a hole, etc. to distinguish it from a normal recording medium 2, and the waste gate 11 is switched to discharge the medium to the waste stacker 13.

However, in such a conventional ticket issuing device, a waste marking section 14 is always required, which increases the cost. Reliability also decreases.

When an indirect method (printing method using an ink ribbon or the like) is used for the printing section 8, ink and the like tend to adhere to the surfaces of the writing head 5 and reading head 7, which may cause malfunctions.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional problems, and to first write information onto a recording medium sent out from a paper feeder, and then reproduce and collate it to match it. If a match is found, printing is performed as a normal medium, and if a match is not found, printing is not performed as a normal medium, and if necessary, instead, a mark indicating discard is printed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording medium processing device that has the effect of distinguishing between discarded recording media.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a side view of a ticket issuing device which is an embodiment of the present invention, and the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 are the same as in FIG.

A feed roller 3 and a pressure roller 4 are supported so that the recording medium 2 is sandwiched between them and conveyed to the outlet of the recording medium 2 of the paper feed section 1, and a writing head 5, a reading head 7, and a printing section 8 are installed along the way. A pair of the feed roller 3 and the pressure roller 4 are placed between them. Encoding pressure rollers 6 are provided on opposing surfaces of the writing head 5 and the reading head 7, respectively.
However, a platen 9 is supported opposite the printing section 8 so as to apply a feeding force to the recording medium 2. Further, a sensor 10 is fixed in the middle of the conveyance path 15 to obtain a printing trigger of the printing section 8, and a waste gate 11 is further arranged to switch the conveyance path 15 between a stacker 12 and a waste stacker 13.

The recording medium 2 taken out from the paper feed section 1 is sandwiched between a feed roller 3 and a pressure roller 4, passes between a write head 5 and an encode pressure roller 6, and then passes between a read head 7 and an encode pressure roller. 6 and is set at the printing start position by detection by the sensor 10. At this time, information is written into the magnetic recording area of the recording medium 2 by the write head 5, and then this written information is reproduced by the read head 7. Here, the written information and the reproduced information are compared, and if they match, the printing section 8 prints on the printing area of the recording medium 2, and the paper is discharged to the stacker 12, thereby completing ticket issuing. If the written information and the reproduced information do not match, the waste gate 11 is immediately opened, the conveyance direction of the recording medium 2 is changed, and the recording medium 2 is ejected to the waste stacker 13. If necessary, print section 8
After printing a mark indicating disposal, the paper is similarly discharged to the waste stacker 13.

With the configuration as described above, the following effects can be obtained with this invention.

Since the decision to discard is made before printing, a discard marking section is not necessarily required. Therefore, it is possible to reduce costs and improve reliability.

Since information is written and reproduced before printing, there is no need to worry about dirt on the surface of the recording head.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. It has a recording and reproducing section that writes and reproduces information on a recording medium, a printing section that prints on the recording medium, and a plurality of stacker sections into which recording media are carried, and the recording and reproducing section reads information on the recording medium. writing and reproducing the written information, comparing the written information and the reproduced information, and if they match, printing on the recording medium as a normal medium and carrying it into the one with the stacker section,
If the comparison does not match, the recording medium processing device is configured to transport the recording medium to another one of the stacker sections, and the recording/reproducing section is arranged in advance of the printing section in the conveyance direction of the recording medium. Further, the recording medium processing apparatus is characterized in that, if the comparison does not match, printing is not performed on the recording medium as a normal medium.
