PURPOSE:To prevent a forgery ticket from being issued even in the case the ticket issue terminal machine is stolen by self-destructing and erasing a program itself recorded in a recording medium by an abnormality processing means at the time of taking out the recording medium in the ticket issue terminal machine. CONSTITUTION:In the ROM 4, a load program for loading an abnormality processing program in the case a microprocessor 1 decides to be abnormal, and an operational program of a ticket issue terminal machine recorded in a flash memory 5 and a file 6 into a RAM 7 is recorded in advance. In such a state, when the microprocessor 1 decides to be abnormal by receiving outputs from a key sensor 2 and a cover open switch 3, that is, when the key sensor 2 is turned off and the cover open switch 3 is turned on, the microprocessor 1 reads out an abnormality processing program of the ROM 4. Subsequently, in accordance with its program, the operational program of the ticket issue terminal machine recorded in the flash memory 5 and the file 6 is erased. |
