PURPOSE:To enable a visually handicapped person to identify the braille printed content of a passbook by oneself by a method wherein a braille printer for books is constructed by providing means for moving a book, a means for turning over a page of the book, and a means for conducting braille printing on each page. CONSTITUTION:Simultaneously with the input of items required for each transaction from an operation part, a request for braille printing is inputted from the operation part. Based on the inputted information, each mechanism of a device conducts processing on an instruction of a control part. Under the control of a passbook handling mechanism control part, a passbook 504 of a customer inserted from a passbook port 514 is received onto a feed path 515 through feed rollers 505, 506 and fed to a predetermined position of a character printing head 501 through feed rollers 507, 508. Here, character printing is conducted on a specified position of the passbook 504 by the character printing head 501. Upon completion of braille printing, the passbook 504 is fed by driving the feed rollers 505, 506, 507, 508 until a page 504a separates from an elastic plate 513. Thereafter, the aforesaid feed rollers are reversely rotated for discharging the passbook 504 out of the passbook port 514. |
