PASSBOOK ISSUING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a passbook issuing apparatus and a passbook issuing method for performing an automatic passbook-balance carry-over in an automated-teller machine and a passbook updating machine and allows the orientation of the head and tail or the front and back of an inserted new passbook to be corrected. When a new-passbook inserting unit 603 inserts one new passbook 602, an insertion-orientation determining unit 608 determines a state of the reading of the magnetic information of the inserted new passbook 602 by a magnetism reading unit 604 and a state of the flipping by at least one of a first flipping unit 605 or a second flipping unit 606. An insertion-orientation controlling unit 609 controls the first and second flipping units 605 and 606 and the head-front turning unit 607 according to a result of the determination by the insertion-orientation determining unit 608 so as to correctly orient the head and tail and the front and back of the inserted new passbook 602.
