Paper-slip handling device and automated transaction device

摘要

A paper-slip handling device with: a reduced stoppage rate and banknote rejection rate for a deposit/withdrawal device; improved ability to remove foreign material from banknote bundles; improved user-friendliness; and improved reliability, comprising: a deposit/withdrawal unit used for depositing and withdrawal of paper slips, a paper-slip identification unit that identifies paper slips, a temporary holding compartment that temporarily stores deposited paper slips, a plurality of paper-slip storage compartments, and a first paper-slip transport path via which paper slips are transported to the various aforementioned units. The deposit/withdrawal unit has an opening via which paper slips are transferred in a substantially horizontal state, a storage section that stores paper slips in a substantially upright state, and a second paper-slip transport path that connects said opening and storage section. The paper slips are transported via said second paper-slip transport path while being switched between the substantially upright state and substantially horizontal state.
