<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent jamming of media and malfunctions and to reduce the number of components. <P>SOLUTION: A medium Z inserted from a medium insertion port 4 rolls on an inclined surface 25a in the radial direction with self-weight and is interlocked to third and fourth shutters 31, 32 and located at a medium processing part 27. In the medium processing part 27, the medium Z in which information is processed by an antenna substrate 28 rolls with the self-weight and returned from a medium returning port 5 when value information remains. When the value information is "0", the medium rolls with the self-weight and is stored in a medium storage part 33 and transported in a medium accumulation path 18 by a transportation means 7. When a new piece of value information is imparted to the medium and issued, only one medium Z is dropped from the medium accumulation path 18 to the medium processing part 27 with the self-weight. The medium Z to which the new piece of value information is imparted in the medium processing part 27 is issued from the medium returning port 5 to the user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
