<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically detect a configuration of a providing device of information recording medium in a self-service terminal that provides a customer with a medium such as a bank bill or ticket. <P>SOLUTION: A providing device of information recording medium is described that includes a carriage moveable forwards and backwards along a linear presenter track between a first purge position, a stacking position, and a present position. The providing device of information recording medium includes a sensing system that includes: an inductive sensor; a resonant target mounted on the moveable carriage for co-operating with the inductive sensor to provide positioning information about the target relative to the inductive sensor; and an optical sensor mounted on the moveable carriage in the vicinity of the presenter track. The sensing system further includes: a first purge target having a first optical property and mounted on the presenter track in the vicinity of the first purge position; and a present target having a second optical property and mounted on the presenter track in the vicinity of the present position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
