PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To issue a large number of tickets by means of the same device by designating at least one of plural hoppers for storing the media which are drawn out of other hoppers and selecting these hoppers for the drawing-out or returning operations. SOLUTION: When both hoppers 1 and 2 function as the drawing-out hoppers, two device doors 33 and the hopper doors 34 and 35 are opened before an action is started and then closed after the magnetic tickets are set. A single sheet or plural sheets of tickets are usually issued up to the number of tickets that can be stacked at an ejection port 15 at a time (window work). When the hopper 1 is used as a drawing-out hopper with the hopper 2 used as a stocker of large capacity respectively, both doors 33 and the door 34 are opened and then closed after the magnetic tickets are set at only the hopper 1. When plural sheets of tickets exceeding the stacking capacity of the port 15 are issued (issuing work of a large number of tickets), the magnetic tickets drawn out of the hopper 1 undergo the prescribed processing like the case of the window work and then are printed. Then the printed tickets are carried to the hopper 2 after a carrier motor is reversed and a changeover gate is switched.
