[0007]
　Technology disclosed herein has been made in view of the foregoing, it is an object of the paper sheet bundling apparatus, to avoid the inconvenience which may occur due to the habit tape stick is there.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0008]
　Technology disclosed herein relates to a paper sheet bundling apparatus, the apparatus comprising a tape binding portion the accumulated paper sheets configured to bundling tape, together with the tape roll is set, the tape roll , wherein includes a reel unit that is configured to rotate in the winding direction of the feeding direction and the tape of the tape, the transport path provided between said reel unit and the tape binding portion, the tape binding portion bundling when performing the said tape drawn out from the tape roll, is supplied to said tape in said tape binding unit by conveying along said conveying path, said when the tape binding unit does not perform unity, said tape a tape feeding unit that is adapted to wait in a state of being arranged in succession along the conveying path, when the tape binding unit does not perform the binding, it is disposed in succession along the conveying path the particular operation to relieve the tension of said tape, and a, and a specific operation execution unit configured to execute at a predetermined timing.
[0009]
　According to this construction, the continuous when the tape binding unit does not perform bundling tapes, in order to supply the rapidly tape binding portion of the tape in the next bundling operation, the tape pulled out from the tape roll along the conveying path It is disposed in. Further, in order to accurately grasp the feed amount of the tape in the next bundling operation, the tape is arranged continuously along the conveying path, it is preferable that the application of a tension so that no sag.
[0010]
　On the other hand, if that is stationary in the state that tension in a tape, there is a possibility that habit tape stick. Therefore, in the above configuration, the specific operation executing means, when the tape binding unit does not perform the binding, the specific operation to relieve the tension of the tape is performed at a predetermined timing. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the habit in the tape is attached, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a problem that due to the fact that the habit to tape stick.
[0011]
　The specific operation execution means is constituted by the reel unit, the reel unit, by performing a specific operation for rotating the tape roll in the dispensing direction, as, is configured to relieve the tension of said tape it may be.
[0012]
　The reel unit as the specific operation execution means, by rotating the tape roll dispensing direction of the tape, between the reel unit and the tape binding unit, relieving the tension of the tape arranged in succession along the conveying path it becomes possible to. Results to relax the tension, the tape, may be slack occurs. Incidentally, in order to start the next bundling operation, when performing the supply of the tape to the tape binding unit, by the reel unit rotates the tape roll in the winding direction of the tape, since by eliminating the slack of the tape, the supply of the tape performing the desirable. By doing this, it is possible to accurately manage the amount of tape supplied to the tape binding part.
[0013]
　Alternatively, the specific operation execution means is configured by the tape carrying section, the tape feed unit, conveys the tape disposed in succession along the conveying path in a direction back to the reel unit by performing a specific operation of the is configured to relieve the tension of the tape, it may be.
[0014]
　Tape transport unit as the specific operation execution means, by conveying in a direction to return the tape to the reel unit, between the reel unit and the tape binding portion, the tension of tape disposed in succession along the conveying path it is possible to relax. The tape, it may be slack occurs, it is the same as defined above. In this configuration, the tip end position of the tape may be changed. Incidentally, the tape to begin the next strapping operation, when performing the supply of the tape to the tape binding portion, for example the tip of the tape, after positioned at a predetermined position near the tape binding unit, the reel unit is in the winding direction of the tape such as by rotating the roll, in terms of eliminating the slack of the tape, it is desirable to supply the tape to the tape binding portion.
[0015]
　Paper sheet bundling apparatus disclosed herein also includes a tape binding portion which the sheets are configured to bundling tape that integrates, together with the tape roll is set, the tape roll, feeding of the tape direction and a reel unit that is configured to rotate in the winding direction of the tape, has a conveyance path provided between said reel unit and the tape binding portion, wherein when the tape binding unit performs unity, the tape roll the tape drawn from, along with supplying the tape to the tape binding unit by conveying along said conveying path, said when the tape binding unit does not perform unity, said tape, along said conveying path a tape feeding unit that is adapted to wait in a state of continuously is disposed, when the tape binding unit does not perform the binding, the standby position of said tape disposed in succession along the conveying path the specific operation of changing, and a, and a specific operation execution unit configured to execute at a predetermined timing.
[0016]
　According to this construction, when the tape binding unit does not perform bundling tapes, tape drawn from the tape roll is disposed continuously along the conveying path. In order to accurately grasp the feed amount of the tape in the next bundling operation, the tape is arranged continuously along the conveying path, it is preferred that the tension is applied so there is no slack. Further, at the next bundling operation, in order to start supplying the tape to the tape binding unit rapidly, the tape of the end of the waiting, close to the tape binding portion, it is preferably located at a predetermined position.
[0017]
　On the other hand, and positioning the leading end of the tape at a predetermined position and is made to rest in the state where the tension to the tape, in a tape disposed between the reel unit and the tape binding portion, specific locations there are habit stick risk in, wherein in the configuration, the specific operation executing means, when the tape binding unit does not perform the binding, the specific operation of changing the standby position of the tape is performed at a predetermined timing.
[0018]
　In this way, it is possible to prevent the habit stick to a specific location in the tape. This is particularly things like inconvenience that the habit is attached to a specific point in the tape occurs (e.g., as described above, the tape is marked with the habit to a specific location, at predetermined positions in the paper sheet bundling apparatus that, etc.) which would it past the disposed a sensor, it is possible to avoid.
[0019]
　Further, the habit tape stick to some extent a long time, it is a condition in which the tape is stationary to continue. Therefore, if such regular basis the operation of changing the standby position of the tape, it is possible to shorten the time the tape is still continuously, it is suppressed habit tape stick.
[0020]
　Thus, when the tape binding unit does not perform the binding, the specific operation of changing the standby position of the tape, by executing a predetermined timing, possible to avoid the occurrence of defects caused by habit to the tape stick it can.
[0021]
　The specific operation execution means, a state in which the tape binding unit does not perform the binding of the paper sheet is, when the predetermined time has elapsed, performing the specified operation, it may be.
[0022]
　In this way, by performing a specific operation prior to thereby with habit tape, the tape, or it is possible to prevent or suppress the result with the habit to a specific point in the tape, the tape it is possible to avoid the occurrence of defects due to the habit stick. On the other hand, before the predetermined time elapses, the tape, and a predetermined waiting position, since it is waiting with the tensioned, when starting the unity operation of the sheet at that point, the tape It can be supplied quickly to the tape to the bundling unit.
[0023]
　The specific operation executing means, when the tape binding portion has completed the unity of the paper sheet, to perform the specific operation, it may be.
[0024]
　In this way, for the next bundling operation, the tape, or it is possible to effectively prevent or suppress the result with the habit to a specific location in the tape.
[0025]
　The specific operation executing means, when one transaction the tape binding unit performs the bundling processing of the paper sheet is completed, executes the specific operation, it may be.
[0026]
　By doing so, since it is in one transaction which may perform bundling operation successively, which does not perform a particular operation in one transaction that, between the bundling operation and the bundling operation, the tape is at a predetermined waiting position and waits in a state where tension is applied. Thus, it becomes possible to quickly start the supply of the tape to the tape binding unit at the start of the bundling operation. Thus, one or more times in one transaction, the bundling operations may be performed, it is possible to perform smoothly. On the other hand, if termination is one transaction, by performing a specific operation, even when the vacant time until the next transaction, the tape or prevented resulting in the habit to a specific location in the tape or It is suppressed.
[0027]
　The tape feed unit, when the tape roll to the reel unit is set by conveying the tape pulled out from the tape roll in a direction to be sent to the tape binding portion, said tape in said conveying path disposed in succession along said specific operation executing means, when set to the tape roll in the reel unit, executes the specific operation, it may be.
[0028]
　When the tape roll is set on the reel unit is provided to perform the bundling operation of a paper sheet, a tape, and a predetermined waiting position in the transport path, it is preferable to wait in a state of tension is applied. Therefore, the tape transport unit, the tape drawn from the tape roll, by conveying in a direction to send the tape binding portion, is disposed continuously along the conveying path of the tape.
[0029]
　On the other hand, after setting the tape roll on the reel unit, to bundling operation of the sheet is actually carried out, there is a possibility that time becomes empty. Therefore, the specific operation execution means is, when you set the tape roll to reel part, to perform a specific action. Thereby, it is possible to prevent or suppress the tape, or habit stick in a particular location in the tape. Moreover, even after a specific operation, since the tape is arranged continuously along the conveying path, when starting the bundling operation of a paper sheet is relatively quickly, to supply the tape to the tape binding portion possible to become.
[0030]
　The specific operation executing means, when the off operation of the power is performed, to perform the specific operation, it may be.
[0031]
　When the operation to turn off the paper sheet bundling apparatus is performed, during the subsequent some time, it is expected that the bundling operation of the paper sheet is not performed. Therefore, the specific operation execution means, by performing a specific action, it is preferable to prevent or suppress the tape on, or habit stick it to a specific location in the tape. Even after the operation of turning off the power is performed, to allow the execution of a particular operation, power is supplied to the paper sheet bundling apparatus. For example a sheet bundling apparatus, when provided with two power supply between the main body power supply and the operation unit power, the "Power" may be as an operation unit power. In this way, even turn off the operation unit power, it is possible to supply electric power to the paper sheet bundling apparatus if the main body power supply is turned on. Further, after the off operation of the power may be delayed to stop the power supply to the paper sheet bundling apparatus. By so doing, it becomes possible to perform a particular operation during the delay.
[0032]
　In addition, in the configuration to perform a specific action when the operation to turn off the power of the paper sheet binding device has been carried out, when you turn on the power of the paper sheet bundling device is, in preparation for the execution of the binding operation, tape together with positioning the tip at a predetermined position near the tape binding portion may be tensioned so that the tape slack is eliminated.
[0033]
　The paper sheet bundling apparatus, the sensor for detecting the ambient temperature, and comprising at least one sensor for detecting the ambient humidity, the specific operation execution means, based on a detection result of the sensor, performing the specified operation It sets a predetermined timing to be, may be.
[0034]
　Tape used in the bundling of the paper sheet often has a paper layer as a base of the tape, and an adhesive layer for welding by heat. From the fact that this paper layer and adhesive layer can absorb the moisture, and when the ambient humidity is high, when there is a large change in humidity it is likely attached a habit to tape. Also, for example, when the ambient temperature is high, even when there is a large change in temperature, easily attached to the habit to tape. Therefore, the specific operation executing means, on the basis of the detection result of the sensor for detecting the sensor and / or humidity detecting the temperature, it is preferable to set the predetermined timing to perform a specific operation. When the tape is in easy temperature environment and / or humidity environment attaching habit may be adapted to facilitate the execution of a particular operation. For example, as described above, when the state in which tape binding unit does not perform the binding of the paper sheet has passed the predetermined time, as long as performing a specific operation may be shorten the predetermined time. Thus, in response to the ambient environment, the tape, or the habit stick in a particular location in the tape, it is possible to effectively prevent or suppress.
[0035]
　Paper sheet bundling apparatus disclosed herein further comprises a tape binding portion which the sheets are configured to bundling tape that integrates, together with the tape roll is set, the tape roll, feeding of the tape direction and a reel unit that is configured to rotate in the winding direction of the tape, has a conveyance path provided between said reel unit and the tape binding portion, wherein when the tape binding unit performs unity, the tape roll the tape drawn from, along with supplying the tape to the tape binding unit by conveying along said conveying path, said when the tape binding unit does not perform unity, said tape, along said conveying path and continuously tape feeding unit that is adapted to wait in a state of being arranged, prior to feeding the tape into the tape binding portion is configured so as to correct the habit of the tape marked with while not to unity and correction means was, and a.
[0036]
　This configuration is different from the configuration described above, the tape, or instead of preventing or suppressing the habit stick in a particular location in the tape, after the correcting the habit attached to the tape, supplied to the tape binding portion do. This avoids the problem that is due to the fact that the habit to tape stick. Here, the term "while not performing the unity" is, in between you have turned on the power of the paper sheet bundling device, while not carried out the unity of the paper sheet, in addition to the, of the paper sheet binding device including while the power is turned off.
[0037]
　Correcting means bundling a state of not performing the predetermined time or longer, after continued, when starting the unity of the sheets, so as to correct the habit of the tape, the state not to unity for a predetermined time or more, continued without, at the start of the bundling of the paper sheet may not be performed corrective as does not have a habit to tape.
[0038]
　Here, the correction of habit attached to the tape it is possible to adopt various methods. As an example, constitutes a conveying path by being disposed so as to sandwich the tape in the thickness direction, the guide utilizing or rollers, the tape transport unit, in the transport path, direction and returning the feed direction of the tape by reciprocated into, it may be correct habit attached to the tape.
[0039]
　In addition, paper sheet bundling apparatus disclosed herein, a tape binding portion which the sheets are configured to bundling tape that integrates, together with the tape roll is set, the tape roll, feeding of the tape a reel unit that is configured to rotate in the winding direction of the direction and the tape includes a conveyance path provided between said reel unit and the tape binding portion, wherein when the tape binding unit performs unity, the the tape drawn from the tape roll, is supplied to said tape in said tape binding unit by conveying along said conveying path, said when the tape binding unit does not perform unity, said tape to said conveying path ; and a tape feeding unit that is adapted to wait in a state of being arranged in succession along.
[0040]
　Then, the tape binding portion is adapted to form the tape supplied by the tape conveying portion annularly, by inserting the integrated was the paper sheet in the tape loop, so as to tie the paper sheet configuration is, the tape binding portion also have a sensor configured to sense whether the tape loop in a predetermined shape is formed, based on a detection result of said sensor, said tape ring having a predetermined shape when not formed, recreate the tape wheel, the tape binding unit furthermore, the state not to unity for a predetermined time or more, after continued, when starting the unity of the paper sheet, the detection result of said sensor ignore and carry out a predetermined number of times to create the tape wheel.
[0041]
　This arrangement, when creating a tape loop, will be tape past the sensor due to the habit attached to the tape, the sensor is eliminated a problem that it becomes impossible to detect the tape. Sensor is a sensor for detecting whether the tape wheel is formed into a predetermined shape, the "predetermined shape", the desired shape, such as bundling by inserting a paper sheet into the tape loop is possible It means. Based on the detection of the sensor, when no tape circle of a predetermined shape is formed, by reshaping the tape wheel, it is possible to reliably perform the bundling of the paper sheet.
[0042]
　On the other hand, the habit attached to the tape, when the detection accuracy of the sensor is reduced in accordance with erroneous detection of the sensor, despite the tape circle of a predetermined shape is formed, happen that recreate the tape wheel obtain. This leads to a delay of the unity operations. In addition, the sensor is repeated false positives results, may also occur that result in an error. This leads to a further delay in the unity process.
[0043]
　Therefore, when the detection accuracy of the sensor by habit attached to the tape may possibly be lowered, ignoring the detection result by the sensor, creating a tape loop. Specifically, as described above, tape binding unit, the state more than a predetermined time not to unity, after continued, when starting the unity of the sheets, the habit is the tape to be supplied to the tape binding portion because there is a possibility that with, to create a tape loop to ignore the detection result of the sensor. In this way, according to erroneous detection of the sensor when the detection accuracy of the sensor is low, it is not possible to regenerate the tape wheel, it is possible to complete promptly the bundling operation of the sheet.
[0044]
　Creating a tape loop to ignore the detection of the sensor, a predetermined number of times, is performed. Thereby, a predetermined number of times the unity operation of the paper sheet, to go, a predetermined number of unity was a paper sheet, to create. That is, the predetermined number of times, depending on the length of tape disposed in succession along the conveying path between the reel unit and the tape binding portion. That is, the tape habit stick while not to unity, attached to portions which are disposed in succession along the conveying path between the reel unit and the tape binding portion. Therefore, after creating a tape loop of the predetermined number of times, the tape to be supplied to the tape binding unit, it does not have the habit. Predetermined number of times may be appropriately set according to the configuration of the apparatus, for example, it may be one or two times.
Effect of the invention
[0045]
　According to the paper sheet binding device, it is possible to avoid the problem that due to the fact that the habit to tape stick.

Such as the hopper unit 2 is operated in accordance with the control signal.
[0101]
　In addition, the bill processing device 100, the main power switch to supply the necessary power to the device 100 (in other words, the main power supply) and 1001, the operating unit power switch for moving the function of the device 100 (in other words, the sub and a power supply) 1002, usually, remains the main power switch 1001 on during the use of the banknote handling apparatus 100, and turns on the operation unit power switch 1002, when not in use of the banknote handling apparatus 100, the operation unit to turn off the power switch 1002.
[0102]
　
　The following describes the payment processing of the bill processing apparatus 100. In the deposit process, the banknote rose state is classified, are integrated to a predetermined stacker is further unity for a given banknote. In the following, a predetermined one type of bill of bundled the first and second unity stacker 4A, integrated alternately by a predetermined number of sheets to 4B, sequentially the bill was the predetermined number of integrated, the same type unity for unity by the bundling unit 9 processing will be described.
[0103]
　First, the operator receives the bill of roses state should be payment from the customer, placing the bill to the hopper 2. At this time, even if the plurality of types of bills in the bill rose state it had been mixed, without classifying them, placed into the hopper 2. The operator, in accordance with the size of the bill, to adjust the guide section 22. Subsequently, the operator operates the touch panel 17, and starts the acquisition of the bill. When the bill sensor 25 detects the placement of the bill on the hopper 2, the banknote handling apparatus 100 may automatically be started the uptake of banknotes.
[0104]
　Placed on banknotes in the hopper 2, from intake port 24 one by one by capturing the roller 23 is activated, it will be incorporated into the housing 12. Captured bill is conveyed by the first conveying unit 7, it passes through the identification portion 3. Identifying section 3 acquires the type of banknote of the banknotes that pass through, and notifies the banknote to the control unit 120.
[0105]
　The control unit 120, depending on the type of the bill, determines the transport destination for the bill. More specifically, when the banknote is and genuine banknotes to a banknote of a predetermined denomination of the bundling subject, the control unit 120, and the transport destination cohesion Stacker 4 (either the 4A and 4B). When the bill is and unfit banknotes to a banknote of a predetermined denomination of the bundling subject, the control unit 120, the transport destination as the first non-unity stacker 5A. When the bill is a denomination of the banknote other than the predetermined denomination, the control unit 120, the transport destination and the second non-bundling stacker 5B. When the bill is rejected bill, the control unit 120, the transport destination and reject stacker 6.
[0106]
　Bill to be transported to the unity stacker 4 is conveyed one to unity stacker 4 of the two unity Stacker 4. The number of integrated in one unity Stacker 4 bill reaches a predetermined bundling number (e.g., 100 sheets), after the banknote it is conveyed to the other of the binding Stacker 4. Here, it is assumed that the bill is first transported to the first bundling stacker 4A.
[0107]
　When banknotes are stacked in the first bundling stacker 4A reaches unity number, the control unit 120 controls the second conveying unit 8, a banknote in the first bundling stacker 4A gripped by the gripping unit 81, the banknote It conveyed to the bundling unit 9. Thereafter, the control unit 120 controls the bundling unit 9, and bundling the banknotes in the tape T.
[0108]
　Incidentally, when the bills are stacked in the first bundling stacker 4A reaches unity number, subsequent bill which is integrated in the second bundling stacker 4B. Thereafter, when the banknotes are stacked in the second bundling stacker 4B reaches unity number, the subsequent banknote it is to be integrated in the first bundling stacker 4A again. By the this time, since the carry-out of bills in the first bundling stacker 4A is completed, the first bundling stacker 4A has become empty. Thus, by providing two unity stacker 4, while performing in succession the accumulation of banknotes, it is possible to perform the bundling process.
[0109]
　Subsequently, the control unit 120 controls the third transport unit 10, for dispensing a banknote bundle from the ejection port 111.
[0110]
　And unfit banknotes to a banknote of a predetermined denomination is transported to the first non-unity stacker 5A. Thus, and unfit banknotes to a banknote of a predetermined denomination are stacked in the first non-unity stacker 5A. Similarly, the denomination of bills other than the predetermined denomination is transported to the second non-bundling stacker 5B, it is integrated into the second non-bundling stacker 5B. Reject the bill also, is transported to the reject stacker 6, are integrated in the reject stacker 6.
[0111]
　The above processing is continued until the bill placed on the hopper 2 is eliminated. The presence or absence of the bill of the hopper section 2, is detected by the bill sensor 25.
[0112]
　When the process of the placed banknotes in the hopper unit 2 is completed, it performs the capture and identification of rejected bills again. In other words, the operator, by extracting rejected bills from the reject stacker 6, placed into the hopper 2, and again taking. Reject banknote, since it is paper money that is not identified as a normal banknote for some reason, try again capture and identification. Nevertheless, the bill identified as rejected bills are stacked in reject stacker 6 again. The operator returns the bill is re-integrated to the customer.
[0113]
　The first and second non-bundling stacker 5A, for banknotes that are stacked in 5B, does not perform acquisition again.
[0114]
　Thus, when the reprocessing process and rejected bills of the bill placed on the hopper 2 has been completed, the same type bundling process is completed, counting and sorting of bills to be credited passed from the customer is completed. The touch panel 17, counted amount is displayed. Operator, you get the approval of the amount from the customer, or, if you check the match of the amounts listed in the payment slip to the amount of money and the customer has been described, it performs a confirmation operation of the deposit amount by the touch panel 17. When deciding operation is performed, defined payment amount is reported to the upper apparatus (not shown), the deposit process is completed.
[0115]
　After completion of the deposit processing, the operator, banknote bundles that are thrown dispensing unit 11, a predetermined storage location taken out banknotes are integrated in the bill and non-bundling stacker 5 is integrated into the binding Stacker 4 It is housed in.
[0116]
　By the above processing, the bill plurality of types of bills were mixed and roses state, the fit banknote of a predetermined denomination, and unfit banknotes of a predetermined denomination, the denomination of the banknote other than the predetermined denomination, It is classified into a rejected bill, the state of being tied to each bundling number for fit banknote of a predetermined denomination.
[0117]
　
　below, the bill will be described in detail the processes to be ejected to the dispensing unit 11 is integrated in the bundling stacker 4.
[0118]
　　- Transfer of the bill to the bundling unit -
　When the accumulation of bill B is completed, the second transport unit 8, to convey the bill B from unity stacker 4 to the bundling unit 9. Figure 6 shows a diagram of a state in which the second transport unit 8 is withdrawn bills B from unity stacker 4. Figure 7 shows a diagram of a state in which the second conveying unit 8 conveys the bill B to the side how the tape loop L.
[0119]
　Specifically, the accumulation of the bill B has been completed, the second conveying unit 8 is moved to the bundling stacker 4 which accumulation of banknotes B is completed, gripping the bill B in the bundling stacker 4, the binding as shown in FIG. 6 withdrawn from the stacker 4.
[0120]
　Subsequently, the second conveying portion 8 is, as shown in FIG. 7, is moved in the vertical direction the bill B to a predetermined second position. The second position is a position for conveying the bills B into the large tape loop L2. In the second position, when viewed longitudinally oriented of the bill B, the bill B is located near the center of the large tape loop L2.
[0121]
　　- Creation of the tape wheel -
　the control unit 120, to create a large tape wheel L2 between the second transport unit 8 to convey the bill B from unity stacker 4 to the second position. Figure 8 shows a diagram of a state where the tape gripper 921 gripping the leading end portion of the tape T. Figure 9 shows a diagram of a state in which the tape-holding portion 921 begins to rotate while holding the distal end portion of the tape T. Figure 10 shows a diagram of a state in which the tape grip portion 921 has created a small tape wheel L1. Figure 11 shows a diagram of a state in which the creation of a large tape loop L2 is completed.
[0122]
　Tape T is, when not unity operation of the bill, the leading edge to a predetermined position in the vicinity of the first tape sensor 9210, along the transport path between the reel unit and the tape wheel creation unit 92, the continuous together they are disposed in, waiting in a state in which the tension has been given so that there is no slack.
[0123]
　When you start the creation of the tape wheel L is, feed roller pair 920 feeds the tape T. At this time, the lock pin 9214 is the base portion 922 of the lock state Toshikatsu, by driving the stepping motor of the tape grip portion 921 to one side, tape the grip portion 921, the gap between the movable section 923 and the base plate 922a waiting in a posture tape T enters the and fed from roller pair 920 feeding into the gap in a state spaced (Fig. 4 (Bs) see also).
[0124]
　When the roller pair 920 feeding amount that the distal end portion of the tape T enters between the movable portion 923 and the base plate 922a is feeding the tape T, it drives the stepping motor of the tape gripper 921 on the other side. Thereby, the rotation shaft 924 is rotated, as shown in FIG. 8, grips the leading end portion of the tape T by the movable portion 923 and the base plate 922a (see FIG. 4 (the A) also). By the rotation urging force of the torsion coil spring 924E, the movable section 923 is in a state of gripping the leading end portion of the tape T together with the base plate 922a. Tip of the tape T is held by the tape-holding portion 921 in a substantially horizontal state.
[0125]
　Moreover, delivery delivery and in parallel by the roller pair 920, the printing unit 97 performs printing on the tape T.
[0126]
　Then, by the lock pin 9214 is the base portion 922 of the unlock state Toshikatsu, stepping motor of the tape grip portion 921 to the drive to one side, tape the grip portion 921, as shown in FIG. 9, the torsion coil spring It starts to rotate while holding the distal end portion of the tape T by the rotation urging force of 924e. At this time, the feeding of the tape T by the feed roller pair 920 is continuing. Tape gripper 921 to move the leading end of the tape T downward, i.e., rotated counterclockwise in FIG.
[0127]
　When the tape gripper 921 substantially one rotation, as shown in FIG. 10, the tape wheel L is created. In this way, the tape wheel L that is created by the tape grip portion 921 are approximately one rotation is referred to as a "small tape wheel L1". Tip of the tape T the tape gripper 921 grips are positioned above the small tape wheels L1, the small tape wheel L1 is created below the tape-holding portion 921. The small tape wheel L1 is created at a position lower than the feed-out roller pair 920.
[0128]
　When the small tape wheel L1 is formed, while the rotation of the tape grip portion 921 is stopped, the feeding of the tape T by the feed roller pair 920 is continued. As a result, small tape wheel L1 is gradually increases. Here, the distal end portion of the tape T the tape gripper 921 grips are located on the top of the small tape wheels L1, since the tape T from the delivery roller pair 920 is fed from the upper part of the small tape wheels L1, the small tape wheel L1 is, go bulging downward. Since the lower part of the tape-holding portion 921 is disposed a guide portion 925, the tape wheel L is eventually in contact with the guide portion 925, the shape of the tape loop L is defined by the guide portion 925. When the feed amount of the tape T from the final delivery roller pair 920 reaches a predetermined amount, as shown in FIG. 11, the tape wheel L is created which is formed in a substantially rectangular shape by the guide portion 925. The tape wheel L is referred to as a "large tape wheel L2". Large tape loop L2 is lower guide portion 926, contacts the first side guide part 927 and the second lateral guide portions 928 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. In addition, the large tape wheel L2 is in contact with the first to fourth corner guide portions 929a-929D, thereby, the angular portion is formed in a rectangular shape that is curved.
[0129]
　The control unit 120, the second tape sensor 9211 when the feed amount of the tape T reaches the predetermined amount from the roller pair 920 delivery is with that detects the tape T, the large tape wheel L2 is created it is detected that was.
[0130]
　Second tape sensor 9211 is configured to sense tape T is guided to the fourth corner guide unit 929D. That is, the second tape sensor 9211 detects the presence or absence of the tape T at the predetermined position above the said bills B when the bill B into the large tape loop L2 is conveyed. If a part of the tape wheel L is bent on the inside, there is a high possibility that the upper portion of the tape wheel L is bent by the weight of the tape T. That is, by arranging the second tape sensor 9211 on the position of the above, it is possible to accurately detect the deflection of the tape loop L.
[0131]
　Creating the large tape loop L2, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a second conveying portion 8 is performed in parallel with the process for conveying banknotes B from unity stacker 4 to bundling unit 9. Usually (i.e., when a large tape loop L2 is created by feeding a single tape T), it has been completed the creation of a large tape loop L2 is when the bill B is conveyed to the second position.
[0132]
　　- Winding a tape -
　in FIG. 12, when viewed facing the thickness direction of the bill B, the bill B is transported to the large tape wheels L2, a view for explaining an operation of the respective units until the tape T is wrapped around the paper currency B show. In FIG 12, (A) is a state immediately before the bill B is conveyed to the large tape wheels L2, (B) shows a state in which the bill B is transported to the large tape wheels L2, (C) is is a state in which the tape T is wrapped around the paper currency Bs. 13 shows a state of the guide portion 925 when the clamp portion 94 presses the bills Bs. Note that in FIG 12 is not shown of the upper clamp portion 941. Further, in FIG. 12 shows a portion in contact with the bill B of the lower clamp portion 943,944 by hatching.
[0133]
　The second conveying unit 8 is moved, as described above, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, after conveying the bill B to the second position (see FIG. 12 (A)), the bill B to the second horizontal then, to enter into the large tape wheel L2. Gripping units 81 of the second conveying portion 8 is, as shown in FIG. 12 (B), to move the bill B to a predetermined third position of the second horizontal direction. The third position is a position where the tape T in the second horizontal direction coincides with the substantially longitudinal center of the bill Bs.
[0134]
　Together with the bill B is transported to the third position, the gripping unit 81, after re-gripping the portion other than the (partial tape T is wound on after treatment) bundling scheduled portion of the bill B, the clamp unit 94 banknote a B to an integrated direction, that is, pressed from both sides in the vertical direction. The upper clamp portion 941 and a lower clamp portion 943,944 is, in the longitudinal direction of the bill B, sandwiching both sides of the unity plan portion of the bill B from up-and-down direction. Thus, the bill B is compressed vertically between the upper clamp portion 941 and the lower clamp portion 943,944.
[0135]
　Also, the lower clamp portion 943,944, which is configured integrally with the lower guide portion 926, also moves the lower guide portion 926 with the rise of the lower clamping part 943,944 upwards. In this case, feed roller pair 920, in conjunction with the rise of the lower guide portion 926, pulling back the tape T. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, with the rise of the lower guide portion 926, the tape wheels L becomes small. In addition to that, the second side guide section 928 also rises in conjunction with the rise of the lower guide unit 926. Thus, it is possible to secure a space for the tape wheel L can be deformed. That is, when rising of the lower guide portion 926 is too fast relative to the speed that the tape wheel L is small, the tape ring L is deformed to protrude from the guide portion 925. At this time, the second side guide part 928, since the retreated from the side of the tape ring L, tape wheels L may be inflated towards the space that was originally the second side guide part 928 located it can. Thus, it is possible to prevent the tape T is bent.
[0136]
　Rise of the lower guide unit 926 stops along with the rise of the lower clamp portion 943,944. On the other hand, the pull back of the tape T by the feed roller pair 920, is also continued after the rise of the lower guide portion 926 is stopped. Finally, as shown in FIG. 12 (C), the tape T is wrapped around the paper currency Bs.
[0137]
　　- Tape bonding, cutting and stamping -
　Subsequently, the heater 95, along with joining the tape T to each other, the cutter 96 to cut the tape T. In addition to it, seal portion 98 to seal the tape T. 14, the bonding of the tape T, is an illustration of a cutting and stamping, (the A), the first and second tape holding indicates the state in which pressing the tape, (Bs), the heater is welded tape , showing a state in which the cutter has to cut the tape.
[0138]
　When the wound to the bill B of the tape T is completed, the descent together with the heater 95 and the cutter 96. At this time, the first and second tape holding 991, 992 is also lowered along with the heater 95 and the cutter 96.
[0139]
　First, as shown in FIG. 14 (A), the first tape holding 991 to sandwich the tape T between the first fits into the recessed groove 922c, a bottom wall of the first groove 922c of the base plate 922a. Simultaneously, the second tape holding 992, sandwiching the tape T between the upper surface of the pressing portion 923b of the movable section 923. At this time, it is cutting by welding a cutter 96 by the heater 95 is not performed.
[0140]
　Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 14 (B), the heater 95, sandwiching the tape T and the overlapped portions were around the front end portion of the tape T between the base plate 922a of the tape gripper 921. For more information, heater 95, to hold the tape T in the portion between the first groove 922c and the second groove 922d of the base plate 922a. The heater 95, fusing the tape T between the overlapping by heat.
[0141]
　In parallel with the heat-welded by the heater 95, the cutter 96 to cut the tape T. The cutter 96 is out of the tape T, upstream of the welded portion by the heater 95, i.e., the portion of the feed than roller pair 920 side welding portion (hereinafter, referred to as "excess portion") to cleave. The cutter 96 includes first and second guide portion 923c, is guided to 923d, enters the second recessed groove 922d.
[0142]
　Thus, the tape T together wound around the banknotes B are joined, the excess portion of the tape T is cut. Since the tape T to bundling banknotes B perforation is formed, when removing the tape T can be easily cut in the perforations of the tape T.
[0143]
　When the junction and the cutting of the tape T is completed, the heater 95, the cutter 96, the first tape holding 991 and the second tape holding 992 rises.
[0144]
　Furthermore, seal portion 98, in parallel with cleavage by welding and the cutter 96 by the heater 95, performs stamping on the tape T. Seal portion 98 are increased with the lower guide portion 926 is positioned directly below the bill B at the time of welding and cutting of the tape T. After winding the tape T on the banknote B is pulled back the tape T by the feed roller pair 920, the stamp unit 98 raises the stamp 981. Stamp 981 abuts the tape T wrapped around the paper currency B, and seal to the tape T.
[0145]
　　- Discharge of the bill -
　banknote B, which are combined with one another by the tape T is transported to the dispensing unit 11 by the second conveying portion 8 and the third conveying unit 10.
[0146]
　That is, a detailed illustration is omitted, the bonding of the tape T, the cutting and stamping is completed, gripping unit 81 grips the banknote bundle Bs. We then descends lower clamp portions 943,944, the pressing by the clamp portion 94 is released. Thereafter, the gripping unit 81, a banknote bundle B to the second horizontal direction, and conveyed by a predetermined amount to the opposite side from which it was transported bills to the large tape wheels L2.
[0147]
　Then, grasping unit 81, to release the grip of the unity bill B. Alternatively, the third conveying unit 10 grips the banknote bundle Bs.
[0148]
　Subsequently, the third conveying unit 10 conveys towards the dispensing unit 11 a banknote bundle B to the first horizontal direction. The third transport unit 10, banknote B is approaches the dispensing unit 11, which gradually released the grip of the unity bill B. Finally, banknote bundles B is extruded to the dispensing unit 11 by the third conveying unit 10.
[0149]
　Banknote pushed out to the dispensing unit 11 is thrown to the outside of the casing 12 through the dispensing unit 11.
[0150]
　
　As described above, the tape T drawn from the tape roll TR is, while not to unity of the bill, the front end, first located predetermined position near the tape sensor 9210 and have become among the reel unit and the tape wheel creation unit 92, life-and-death continuous along the conveying path, a standby state in which tension is applied so there is no slack . Here, the tape T is, have a paper layer and an adhesive layer as a base of the tape is intended relatively strong rigidity, while still in a state of tension is applied, the tape T there is a case in which habit would with. In particular, the banknote handling apparatus 100 shown here, the relationship of the layout, between the reel unit and the tape feed unit 912, the tape T is, are twisted, the specific location of the tape T at the standby state, details the, as shown in FIG. 3, at the point between the conversion roller 9116 and the tape carrying section 912, there is a possibility that twisting habit stick. The tape T, in addition to twisting habit, the results are arranged in succession along the conveying path, there may be a case where bending tendency along the conveying path are attached.
[0151]
　The tape T in a state in which with a twisted habit when creating a tape loop L is supplied to the tape wheel creation unit 92, the second corner guide portion 929b, through the second side guide part 928, the fourth corner guide unit tape T is disposed along the like 929d is adapted to dodge second tape sensor 9211, despite the large tape loop L2 having a predetermined shape is formed, the second tape sensor 9211 tape T It can happen that can not be detected. For example, in the state shown in FIG. 11, the position of the tape T is second tape sensor 9211 is when as displaced in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface. If this is the case, as described above, pull back the tape T, it would be to recreate the tape wheel L. This leads to a delay of the binding process of the bill. Further, even recreate the tape loop L Incidentally, when the second tape sensor 9211 by habit attached to the tape T can not detect the tape is an error, the operator opens the housing 12 of the banknote handling apparatus 100 on, it is necessary to remove off the portion of the tape T that habit with. This also leads to a delay of the binding process of the bill.
[0152]
　Further, not only the erroneous detection of the second tape sensor 9211, by marked with habit tape T, or even not possible actually to create a large tape loop L2 into a predetermined shape, also the tape by the heater 95 when an attempt is made to welding of T, no longer overlap the tape with each other exactly, or cause trouble in joining therebetween, further, when trying to cut the tape T by the cutter 96, the tape T against the cutter 96 by direction is shifted, it is also conceivable to or cause trouble in the cutting of the tape T.
[0153]
　Therefore, the banknote handling apparatus 100, when not performing the unity of banknotes, and is configured to prevent or suppress the habit is attached to the tape T. Specifically, the tape setting unit 911, as the tension of the tape T in the standby state is relaxed, the tape roll TR, is rotated by a predetermined amount in the unwinding direction of the tape T. At this time, the tape transport unit 912 does not perform the conveyance of the tape T. Thus, in particular between the conversion roller 9116 and the tape carrying section 912, the tension of the tape T is substantially eliminated, or, because the tension is reduced, preventing the habit is attached to the tape T in the waiting state, or, It is suppressed.
[0154]
　Specific operation to relieve the tension of the tape T (in this case, the operation of rotating the dispensing direction of the tape roll TR) is of when not unity of the bill is performed at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the state of not performing the unity of the bill, when a predetermined time elapses, the tape setting section 911, by rotating the tape roll TR, to relax the tension of the tape T. In this way, before the habit attached to the tape T, it is possible to relax the tension of the tape T. On the other hand, before the predetermined time elapses, when the bundling operation is initiated, the tape wheel creation unit 92, it is possible to immediately supply tape T.
[0155]
　By rotating the dispensing direction of the tape roll TR, after relaxing the tension of the tape T in the standby state, when resuming the bundling operation of the bill, the tape setting unit 911 rotates in the winding direction of the tape roll TR in in terms of eliminating the slack of tape T, delivery roller pair 920 of the tape feed unit 912, as described above, feeding the tape T to the tape wheel creation unit 92. By so doing, it becomes possible to accurately manage the feed amount of the tape T.
[0156]
　As described above, the tape T has a paper layer and an adhesive layer, by the paper layer and the adhesive layer absorbs moisture, the tape T is liable attaching habit. Therefore, the high and the environment under the humidity, when the humidity change is large, the tape T, easy attaching habit. In addition, and when the ambient temperature is high, even when there is a large change in temperature, it is easily attached to the habit is on the tape T. Therefore, as shown in phantom in FIG. 5, the temperature sensor 1003 detects the ambient temperature and, as equipped with a humidity sensor 1004 for detecting the ambient temperature, the detection result of the temperature sensor 1003, and, the detection of the humidity sensor 1004 depending on the results, it may set the timing to perform a specific action. Specifically, when the temperature is relatively high, and / or when the humidity is relatively high, also when the temperature change is large, and / or when a large humidity changes, a timing to mitigate the tension of the tape T may be as hasten (in other words, when the state is not carried out the unity of the bill that the above-described, that a predetermined period of time has elapsed, hasten a predetermined time). In this way, the easy environment attaching habit tape T, now the tension of the tape T is relaxed early and can be effectively prevented from being attached habit tape T. Setting the timing depending on the temperature and humidity sensor detects is possible by changing the default predetermined time. Incidentally, instead of being based on both the temperature and the humidity, temperature alone, or based only on the humidity, it may be set the timing of the strain relief.
[0157]
　The temperature sensor 1003 and a humidity sensor 1004, to the housing 12 outside the temperature and humidity of the banknote handling apparatus 100 may detect the temperature and humidity of the casing 12 of the banknote handling apparatus 100, in particular, the tape roll temperature and humidity or near TR, may detect the temperature and humidity in the vicinity of the conveyance path from the reel unit to the tape wheel creation unit 92.
[0158]
　Status of not unity of the bill, unlike relieving the tension of the tape T when the predetermined time has elapsed, the tape setting unit 911, when the one transaction that performs bundling processing of the bill is finished, the tape roll TR the rotate may be to relax the tension of the tape T. In this way, before the next transaction is started, even when the vacant a relatively long time, is prevented from habit stick the tape T. Also, one can while performing the bundling process according to the transaction, the tape T waiting, because there is no slack, can be performed immediately supply tape T to the tape wheel creation unit 92. As a result, it is possible to perform in one transaction, the bundling operation of the bill smoothly.
[0159]
　Incidentally, the tape setting unit 911, not after one transaction completion, for each unity of the bill is completed, by rotating the tape roll TR, it may be to relax the tension of the tape T.
[0160]
　Tape setting section 911 may also, by the operator, the new tape roll TR in the tape setting section 911 is set and, when the lid 121 is closed, may be to relax the tension of the tape T. That is, as described above, when a new tape roll TR is set in the tape setting section 911, the tape feed unit 912, to the first tape sensor 9210 detects the leading end of the tape T, create tape loop tape T transported towards the part 92, then, the stepping motor of the tape setting section 911, in the direction of winding the tape T, by rotating the tape roll TR, eliminating the intermediate slack of the tape T. Thereafter, the tape setting section 911, by rotating in the unwinding direction of the tape roll TR, may relax the tension of the tape T. After setting the tape roll TR, but actually there is a possibility that the time becomes available until performing the bundling operation of the bill, when equipped with a tape roll TR, by advance alleviate the tension of the tape T , it is possible to prevent the habit is attached to the tape T, the next time to perform the bundling operation of the bill, it is possible to perform the bundling operation smoothly.
[0161]
　Tape setting section 911 further, when you turn off the operation unit power switch 1002 of the banknote handling apparatus 100, by rotating in the unwinding direction of the tape roll TR, it may relax the tension of the tape T. Bill processing device 100, in the non-business hours such as a bank by turning off the operation unit power switch 1002, a relatively long time, but are not used, it is possible to prevent the meantime, habit is attached to the tape T possible to become. As a result, turn on the operation unit power switch 1002 of the banknote handling apparatus 100, when resuming the bundling operation of the bill, because it does not have a habit tape T, it becomes possible to perform the bundling operation smoothly.
[0162]
　Incidentally, according to the tape set unit 911, the execution timing of a rotation specific operation of the tape roll TR, (1) "when the state is not performed unity of the bill has passed the predetermined time" (2) "banknote bundling process one when the transaction has been completed to do ", and (3)" each time to complete the unity of the bill ", (4)" when you set the tape roll TR in the tape setting section 911 ", (5)" of the bill processing apparatus 100 the operation unit power switch 1002 illustrated the "when turned off, these timings, to the extent possible, can be combined arbitrarily.
[0163]
　
　In the above configuration, in order to alleviate the tension of the tape T at the standby state, in a direction in which the tape setting unit 911 feeds the tape roll TR It had rotated. Alternatively, between the predetermined amount it may be to convey, especially conversion roller 9116 and the tape carrying section 912 toward the tape feed unit 912 tape set portion 911 of the tape T, relieving the tension of the tape T it is possible. Incidentally, at this time, the tape setting section 911 does not drive.
[0164]
　Timing the tape feeding unit 912 to relax the tension of the tape T, it is possible to employ the respective timings of the above-mentioned (1) to (5). These timing, to the extent possible, can be combined arbitrarily. Further, as described above, based on the detection result of the temperature sensor 1003 and / or humidity sensor 1004, may be set the timing to mitigate the tension of the tape T.
[0165]
　By the tape feed unit 912 returns the tape T, the front end of the tape T will be shifted from a predetermined position near the first tape sensor 9210. Therefore, when the tape conveying unit 912 returns the tape T, after relaxing the tension of the tape T in the standby state, when resuming the bundling operation of the bill, first, until it detects the leading end of the tape T, the tape carrying section 912 There is conveyed in the feeding direction of the tape T, then the stepping motor of the tape setting section 911, in the direction of winding the tape T, by rotating the tape roll TR, eliminating the intermediate slack of the tape T, on the , feed roller pair 920 of the tape transport section 912, as described above, it is sufficient to send the tape T to the tape wheel creation section 92. It should be noted that, until it detects the leading edge of the tape T, direction by the tape transport unit 912 is conveyed to the feed direction of the tape T, as long as the middle of the slack of the tape T is eliminated, the tape roll TR, winding the tape T be rotated in may be omitted.
[0166]
　
　As described above, in the banknote handling apparatus 100, since the tape T is twisted between the conversion roller 9116 and the tape carrying section 912, near the point when the twisted habit attached to the, to create a large tape wheel L2, more precisely, when you create a large tape wheel L2 of the two eyes from to resume unity behavior, so as to be located in the guide portion 925 It becomes, can lead to erroneous detection of the second tape sensor 9211. That is, in the tape T in a state where the tip end of the tape T is positioned at the first tape sensor 9210, that the stick is twisted habit to a specific location, can lead to erroneous detection of the second tape sensor 9211.
[0167]
　Therefore, as described above, instead of relaxing the tension of the tape T in the standby state, by changing the point where habit stick to the tape T, even avoids trouble occurs in the detection by the second tape sensor 9211 good. More specifically, when not the unity of banknotes, appropriately changing the standby position of the tape T. In the banknote handling apparatus 100, a predetermined waiting position of the tape T (the default position), as described above, the front end of the tape T is a predetermined position near the first tape sensor 9210. Thus, when starting the creation of the tape loop L is, it is possible to supply the rapidly tape T in the tape loop creation unit 92. To change the standby position of the tape T, the tape transport unit 912, the feeding direction to convey the tape T toward the tape wheel creation unit, or, one of the pull-back direction to convey the tape T toward the tape setting section 911 crab, transporting the tape T by a predetermined amount. In response to the transport operation of the tape transport section 912, tape set section 911 is also a drive. Accordingly, the tape T, a predetermined tension is applied.
[0168]
　Thus, the standby position of the tape T, by changing from the default position, even with a twisted habit tape T, place where the torsion habit stick, upon waiting for the tape T in a default position, the torsion habit It becomes different points from the specific portion stick. As a result, the twisted habit attached to the tape T, that the trouble occurs in the detection by the second tape sensor 9211 provided in the vicinity of the fourth corner guide unit 929D, it can be prevented or suppressed.
[0169]
　Operation of changing the standby position of the tape T, when not unity of the bill, can be performed at a predetermined timing. As described above, (1) "when the state is not performed unity of the bill has passed the predetermined time" (2) "When one transaction that performs bundling processing of the bill is finished", the unity of (3) "banknote each complete ", (4)" when you set the tape roll TR in the tape setting section 911 ", (5) any one of the" when you turn off the operation unit power switch 1002 of the bill processing apparatus 100 ", or , it is possible to employ a plurality.
[0170]
　Further, the standby position of the tape T, if to periodically change, the tape T, it is possible to shorten the time for stationary continuously at a predetermined standby position, that the habit is attached to the tape T prevention, or, it can be suppressed. Therefore, the tape transport unit 912, when not unity operation of the bill, at predetermined time intervals, may be changed to the standby position of the tape T sequentially. Waiting position of the tape T is sequentially changed, it may be different from each other, for example set in advance two standby position, may change its two standby positions alternately. Incidentally, the standby position to be set in advance, can be set at three or more appropriate range is not limited to two.
[0171]
　
　each configuration described above, the tape T, or prevent or inhibit the habit stick to a specific portion of the tape T is, unlike this, the tape T when habit gets on, after the correction of the habit, it may be supplied to the tape T in the tape loop creation unit 92. Specifically, the tape feed unit 912, after the state of not performing the unity of the banknote has passed a predetermined time or more, at the start of the bundling of the banknotes, before feeding the tape T in the tape loop creation unit 92, in the transport path as the tape T is to come and go, reciprocating a tape T. Thereby, the tape T is, guide and which constitutes the conveying path, while passing between the roller pairs, habit had attached is to be corrected. Reciprocation once, or may be performed a plurality of times, the number is in a corrective possible range of habit, it is possible to set the number of times as needed.
[0172]
　Thus, even when with the habit on the tape T, before supplying the tape T to the tape wheel creation unit 92, by correcting the habit, it is possible to avoid the problems caused to the habit stick to the tape T possible to become. In other words, you can avoid erroneous detection of the second tape sensor 9211, to create certainly a large tape wheel L2, or reliably heat welding the tape T to each other, to be or to reliably cut the tape T Become.
[0173]
　Here, the state not to unity of the banknote has passed a predetermined time or more, in a state of turning on the operation unit power switch 1002 of the banknote handling apparatus 100, a status of not unity process is to be older than a predetermined time besides, it is also included that passed more than a predetermined time the operation unit power switch 1002 of the bill processing apparatus 100 in a state of being turned off. Therefore, turn on the operation unit power switch 1002 of the bill processing apparatus 100, when you start a unity process, the correction operation by the tape transport section 912 is carried out.
[0174]
　Incidentally, when supplying the tape T to the tape wheel creation unit 92, where it is clear that does not have the habit to the tape T, for example, before a state of not performing the unity of the banknote has passed a predetermined time, the tape T the like when starting the supply of, by omitting the correction operation described above may start the supply of the tape T. The state of not performing the unity of the bills regardless of whether the elapsed predetermined time or more, before the supply of the tape T may perform corrective operation described above.
[0175]
　Arrangement for correcting habit of the tape T, the configuration for preventing the habit stick it to the "Configuration (Part 1) for preventing the habit stick it on the tape T," "tape T previously described (Part 2 ) ", and it may be combined with the" structure for changing the point where habit tape T stick ". In other words, while waiting for a tape T is, or to prevent that get into the habit on the tape T, while or to change the place where the habit is attached to the tape T, in order to perform the bundling operation of the bill, the start of the supply of the tape T when it is, after the correcting the habit attached to the tape T, may be supplied to the tape T.
[0176]
　
　As described above, in the banknote handling apparatus 100, it may by the twisting habit stick to the tape T, causing erroneous detection of the second tape sensor 9211. In particular, false positives, the tape T in the waiting position marked with twisted habit, are those which may occur when reaching the guide portion 925 of the tape wheel creation unit 92, in particular, the cohesion process of the banknote it is time to create a large tape wheel L2 of the two eyes from the resume. Therefore, when the erroneous detection of the second tape sensor 9211 is likely to occur, ignoring the detection result of the second tape sensor 9211, may be created a tape loop L.
[0177]
　Specifically tape wheels creation section 92, after the lapse of a predetermined time of inactivity the unity of the banknote (Incidentally, here, the state of not performing the unity of bills, the operation unit power of the banknote handling apparatus 100 is turned off also including) it became state, when performing the unity operation of the bill, after the resumption, until you create the two eyes of large tape wheel L2, ignoring the detection result of the second tape sensor 9211, large tape to create a wheel L2. That is, the second tape sensor 9211 has not detected the tape T, even if no undetectable be large tape loop L2 having a predetermined shape is created, as described above, re-create the tape loop L it is without, the unity operation of the bill, as it is advancing. Insertion of the bill to a large tape wheel L2, and by performing a rewind of the tape T, to create a bundle of bills. Then, after bundling the banknotes by creating two eyes the large tape loop L2, and later when creating three eyes of the large tape loop L2, as described above, the detection results of the second tape sensor 9211 use the to. In this way, when there is a high possibility of detecting the second tape sensor 9211 is false, it is possible by the erroneous detection bundling processing of the bill is avoided in advance that would interrupted, bundling of the banknotes it is possible to run the process to smooth.
[0178]
　Incidentally, when the second while ignoring the detection result of the tape sensor 9211, a large tape loop L2 having a predetermined shape is not actually created, then, upon inserting the paper money, also when rewinding the tape T It will be an obstacle to equality, an error at that point. In that case, the operator stops the banknote handling apparatus 100 needs to perform error cancellation. However, the large tape loop L2 having a predetermined shape is not actually created, since hardly, while ignoring the detection result of the second tape sensor 9211, a large tape loop L2 having a predetermined shape is not actually created that it is overlapping, hardly. Therefore, substantial effect by ignoring the detection result of the second tape sensor 9211, little.
[0179]
　Incidentally, the number of times to ignore the detection result of the second tape sensor 9211 is not limited to two, it is possible to set the number of times as needed.
[0180]
　In addition, the configuration to ignore the detection result of the second tape sensor 9211, the above-mentioned "the configuration of the order to prevent the habit on the tape T stick (Part 1)", "in order to prevent the habit stick it on the tape T configuration (Part 2) "," arrangement for changing the point where habit tape T stick ", and may be combined with the" configuration for correcting habit of the tape T ". Habit that is, while waiting for a tape T, or to prevent that get into the habit on the tape T, or to change the place where the habit is attached to the tape T, also, before you start the supply of the tape T, which was attached to the tape T further did on or correct, after the start of supply of the tape T, the predetermined number of times, ignoring the detection result of the second tape sensor 9211, may be created a tape loop L.
[0181]
　
　banknote handling apparatus 100 includes a power saving mode. Specifically, the count and the bills, when the idle state is not performed processing unity or has passed the predetermined time, the banknote handling apparatus 100 shifts to the power saving mode. In the power-saving mode, to reduce the consumption of standby power by turning off the power supply to the heater 95. The temperature of the heater 95 is turned off the power supply is reduced.
[0182]
　In order to start the counting or unity process, when you return from the power saving mode to the normal mode, to start the power supply to the heater 95. However, the temperature of the heater 95, until it reaches a predetermined temperature at which it is possible to heat seal the tape T, the bill processing device 100 does not initiate the process. Therefore, when returning from the power saving mode, there is a disadvantage that the start of the process must wait. The heater 95 is the start of the process until it is heated to a predetermined temperature is kept waiting is not limited to the time of return from the power saving mode, it is those that occur in the same way when you turn on the operation unit power switch 1002.
[0183]
　The timing for performing welding of the tape T by the heater 95 is in after the completion of integration of at least bills, from the start of the intake or the like of the bill, and before performing the welding of the tape T by the heater 95 there is a time lag. This in focus, the banknote handling apparatus 100, upon return from the power saving mode, and, when powered on, without waiting for the temperature rise of the heater 95, is configured to start the process to the extent possible there. That is, when on the return time and the operation unit power switch 1002 from the power saving mode, as described above, to start the placed banknotes taken into the hopper section 2 immediately performs identification of the bill, transport, an integrated sequential . In the meantime, make the power supply to the heater 95. In this thing, the temperature of the heater 95 is also increased. Then, the bill of a predetermined number are stacked in the bundling stacker 4, when performing the unity of the banknote, the heater 95 is increased to a predetermined temperature, as it continues the welding of unity and the tape T of the banknote possible it is.
[0184]
　Incidentally, when the accumulation of the bill was attempted cohesion by tape T completed, when the heater temperature has not reached the predetermined temperature, at which time, waiting for the heater temperature rises. At this time, to the operation of the banknote handling apparatus 100 may be stopped, operations other than unity of the bill (for example identification, transport, accumulation) that the intact continuation possible, operations other than unity continues it may be carried out.
[0185]
　Thus the banknote handling apparatus 100 including the power-saving mode, both at the time of returning from the power saving mode, since the start of the process of the banknote handling apparatus 100 is prevented from being kept waiting, and improve convenience, and lower power consumption It becomes possible. Further, when turning on the operation unit power switch 1002 also, since it is possible to start processing quickly, thereby improving convenience.
[0186]
　
　The tape T banknote B that is created according to the procedure described above, information related to the banknote B is printed. The content to be printed, include one, or more items. Items, in particular, operator name subjected to creation of banknote bundles B, the serial number of the banknote bundles B which the banknote handling apparatus 100 has been created (ie, the bundle number), date created a banknote, the banknote bundle B time that was created, and, financial institution name that created the unity bill B (for example, bank name, should be noted, there is a case where the bank name contains branch name), the amount of banknote B (that is, total), unity bill B a positive loss by such a bill contained in. Incidentally, it may include items other than that illustrated herein. User (Here, the user may utilize the banknote handling apparatus 100, the financial institution performing the deposit process (ie, the binding process), which corresponds to a person who sets the printing content) of a plurality of items from among the candidates, keep arbitrarily select a desired item. Information of the selected item is stored in the storage unit 1201 of the controller 120. Print unit 97, in accordance with item information stored in the storage unit 1201, and printed at a predetermined position of the tape T. Multiple items are printed side by side along the tape T. Between the item and the item, for example, space is provided. The greater the number of items to be printed on the tape T, the length to be printed is longer. The "length to be printed", aligned along the tape T, the length from the one or the one end of the entire character string constituting a plurality of items to the other.
[0187]
　Here, as shown in FIG. 15, the range of the printing portion of the tape T in the banknote bundles B is limited to a tape portion located on the front or back surface of the bill in its banknote bundle B. In the example of FIG. 15, the tape portion that is located on the lower surface of the banknote B, ranging from the right edge of the banknote bundles B to the left. Thus, the side surface of the banknote bundles B (ie, edge surface) to the tape portion is located in, in principle, not printed. This is the unity bill B that was created, by winding the tape by stacking a plurality, there is a case to further create a big bunch, in the Daitaba, to tape place located on the edge surface of the banknote B, bar there may be a case that put a code and the like.
[0188]
　The range of printing positions in the banknote B as is determined by the lateral dimension of the bill. However, as described above, the length to be printed on the tape T becomes longer, not fit between the print position, there is a possibility that protrudes to the edge surface.
[0189]
　Further, there is a case where the lateral dimension of the bill varies depending on denomination, when the size of the lateral direction to create a banknote bundle B for a relatively long denomination of the bill is in the range of the printing position, fit the printing it even may, when the size of the lateral direction to create a banknote bundle B for a relatively short denomination of the bill is in the range of the printing position, it may be impossible to fit the printing.
[0190]
　The banknote handling apparatus 100 is configured not to print on the edge surface of the banknote Bs. Specifically banknote handling apparatus 100, the user, in addition to selecting the items to the printing on the tape T, and is configured to set the priority for a plurality of the selected item. This priority, length to be printed, if it does not fit within the range of printing locations in the unity bill B, is a priority in terms of the exclusion from the item to be printed, low-priority items are preferentially , the exclusion of the subject.
[0191]
　Banknote handling apparatus 100, the print item set by the user, and, based on its priority, and the lateral dimension of the bill performing unity, so as not to print on the tape portion is located in the edge surface, the tape to set the length to be printed on T. The information in the short dimension of the bill, the size information of each banknote stored in advance in the storage unit 1201, can be obtained based on the identification result by the identifying unit 3. Size information of each banknote stored in advance in the storage unit 1201 may be acquired from the identification template 33. Banknote handling apparatus 100 also the lateral dimension of the bill, it is possible to obtain a variety of ways. For example a user, the lateral dimension of the bill may be manually input.
[0192]
　16, two kinds of banknotes dimension in the transverse direction is different, here, the items to be printed on the tape T of the first denomination of banknotes, and items to be printed on the tape T of the second denomination of the banknote It shows an example of. In the example shown in the figure, the user has selected the "operator name", "bundle number", "date", "time", "bank name", as an item to be printed. Among them, it is set to the lowest priority of "bank name", to.
[0193]
　The lateral dimension is relatively long first denomination of banknote, even if printed all of the selected item, the length of the printing, within the range of the printing portion of the banknote bundles B . Banknote handling apparatus 100, when creating a first denomination of banknote bundles B may print the tape T, all the items selected by the user. Thus, without printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface, the banknote bundles Bs, only the tape portions located on the front or back surface of the bill, it is possible to print.
[0194]
　In contrast, banknote of the second denomination, since the dimensions of the lateral direction is relatively short, any attempt to print all of the selected items, a length to be printed is, the range of the printing portion of the banknote bundles B It does not fit within. Therefore, the banknote handling apparatus 100 excludes according to the priority order that is set, the lowest item of "bank name", the item to be printed (see the broken line in FIG. 16). Length becomes shorter to be printed by reducing the number of items to be printed, for the unity bill B of the dimensions of the lateral direction is relatively short second denomination, without printing to tape place is located in the edge surface, only to tape place located on the surface or the back of the bill, it is possible to print.
[0195]
　In the banknote handling apparatus 100 also, in addition to adjusting the length of printing by increasing or decreasing the number of items to be printed, to adjust the length to be printed by adjusting the length of the item, whereby the It has been configured to be capable to avoid printing on a tape portion located on the edge surface of the banknote Bs. To adjust the length of the item, with respect to the maximum number of characters that have been pre-set in the item, the number of characters used by the user is, when fewer than the maximum number of characters, pack the empty space of the number of characters of surplus it is, it includes reducing the length of the item. Specifically, here, the item "Operator Name", and, the items of "bank name", corresponds to it. These items are pre maximum number of characters is set, the user is within its maximum length, it is possible to set optionally the content. For example, for an item of operator name, the maximum number of characters is set to 10 characters, the user, when you set the operator name of six characters, four characters is the number of characters in the surplus.
[0196]
　Also, to adjust the length of the item, at a preset within the maximum number of digits, for the items to change the number of digits, the number of digits to be printed is, when fewer than the maximum number of digits, the surplus by filling the empty space of the number of digits, it includes reducing the length of the item. Specifically, in this case, "bundle number", each item of the "date" and "time" is, corresponds to it. Bundle number is a serial number of the banknote, as described above, the number of digits may vary. In addition, for the date, an order of magnitude of the day (one day, two days, etc.), double-digit of the day (11 days, 12 days, etc.) and are present. For even time, and hour, minute and second time of an order of magnitude, there are the hour, minute and second time of double-digit, is the same as the date. For example, for items of the bundle numbers, when the maximum number of digits is set to 3 orders of magnitude, when the serial number of one digit, two orders of magnitude is the number of digits of the excess.
[0197]
　Figure 17 shows an example in which the length of the items in the operator name, made different in the banknote B of the first denomination, a second denomination of banknote B. That is, for the banknote bundle B of the first denomination, if the dimension in the transverse direction is relatively long, the range of printing positions is relatively large. Therefore, in the field of the operator name, by including the free space of number of characters of the surplus length of the item, and the length of the maximum number of characters. Although the length of the items in the operator name is long, without printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface, the banknote bundles Bs, only the tape portions located on the front or back surface of the bill, it is possible to print .
[0198]
　In contrast, for the banknote bundle B of the second denomination, and the dimensions of the lateral direction is relatively short, the range of the printing portion is relatively narrow. Therefore, in the item of the operator name, by filling the empty space of number of characters of the surplus length of the item, it is relatively short. By so doing, without printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface, the banknote bundles Bs, only the tape portions located on the front or back surface of the bill, it is possible to print. As shown in FIG. 17, by shortening the length of the item, since the shorter length to be printed, the item selected by the user, it is possible that all printing without excluding.
[0199]
　Incidentally, when filling the excess characters or empty space of digits a few minutes, may also be packed all the free space, it may be packed part of the free space.
[0200]
　In the banknote handling apparatus 100 according to the priority order as described above, increasing or decreasing the number of items to be printed, and, to pack the excess characters or empty space number of digits in the entries, by combining, for banknote bundles B without having to print to tape place is located in the edge surface, only to tape place located on the surface or the back of the bill, so that the printing. Incidentally, according to the priority, increasing or decreasing the number of items to be printed, and, to pack the extra free space number of characters of the item, but not both, may be performed only one.
[0201]
　Figure 18 is an example of a screen for setting a mode of printing on the tape T of the banknote Bs, this screen is for example is displayed on the touch panel 17 of the banknote handling apparatus 100. Setting screen is configured to simultaneously set the priority of the items to select items to be printed. That is, the left in the table of the screen, 1, 2, 3, ... each digit of which indicates the priority, by inputting the entries in the column corresponding to each number, the selection of the items to be printed, the setting of the priority of the item is carried out at the same time. In other words, setting the priority for the selected item to a print only, it can be performed.
[0202]
　As shown in the drawing, the setting screen, if to display the candidates of selectable items as printable item, the user, it is possible to select a desired item from among the candidates, convenience It increases. The setting screen is an example, not limited thereto.
[0203]
　For the selected item, as described above, it is settable to configure whether filled free space on the number of characters in excess (see column "Space-filling"). That is, the space filling is taken as "good", for the items, it is possible to pack the excess characters or empty space number of digits. In this case, the length to be printed, regardless of whether not fit or fall within the scope of the printing position, always be filled free space, and the free space when the length to be printed does not fall within the scope of the printing portion packed, not packed free space, it may be further possible to set when the fit. Also, the space filling is taken as "impossible", for the item, a setting not stuffed excess characters or empty space number of digits. Note that the items that excess characters or digits of minutes free space does not occur, setting the field of space filling is invalid or can not be set.
[0204]
　19, when the user sets the print item in the setting screen shown in FIG. 18, an example of a screen that may be displayed on the touch panel 17. This screen, in accordance with the printing form by the user to set, when performing printing on the tape T of the banknote B, and whether the state of the print will look like, the dimensions of the lateral direction are different from each denomination to is a screen to be displayed. Screen example in FIG. 19, according to the priority that the user has to set, which is an example of a case where the increase or decrease of item to be printed. In this example, for the unity bill B of the dimensions of the lateral direction is relatively long first denomination, the user has the setting, the "operator name", "bundle number", "date", "time", "bank name" that all the items are printed is shown. In contrast, for the banknote bundle B dimension in the transverse direction is relatively short second denomination, that the scope of the printing portions is narrowed, the user has to set, "Operator Name", "bundle number" " date "," time "of the" bank name ", except for the" bank name "," is that the item of the operator name "," bundle number "," date "," time "is printed is shown. The user, this screen, the condition to be actually printed on the tape T of banknote bundles Bs, it is possible to advance understanding. This screen contains two buttons "OK" and "re-setting", the user, when this on the basis of the form grasped by the screen, wants to fix the like of print items set, the "re select operation settings "button. Thus, it is possible to return to the setting screen shown in FIG. 18, the user may set the printing mode becomes possible to (or to redo a new configuration, already comprises modifying the contents set). On the other hand, when the good printing mode set, the user selects operating the "OK" button. Thus, printing mode set is stored in the storage unit 1201.
[0205]
　As described above, the bundle number, date, items such time, the number of digits varies with the timing of creating a banknote bundles, accordingly, the length to be printed on the tape T may change. As a result, as shown in FIG. 19, when setting the printing mode, the state printing state to the tape T is, even being grasped in advance, the tape T banknote Bs, actually printing, FIG. 19 may occur may be different from the printing state shown in the screen. In the banknote handling apparatus 100, as shown in FIG. 20, even when performing the bundling process, the printing state to the tape T, is displayed on the touch panel 17. Viewing the printing condition, for example, to start the bundling process may be performed before creating the first banknote bundle Bs. Further, each time creating a banknote Bs, may be displayed the printed state of the banknote Bs. In the illustrated example, due to the relatively short lateral dimension of the bill to be unity, the items to be printed has been shown that the "Bank Name" is excluded. The operator, the banknote bundle B to be created, in practice, it is possible to grasp how the printing is performed.
[0206]
　In addition to the display screen, and the "OK" button, and a "re-setting" button is provided. The operator, when to allow printing state to the tape T, the selection operation of the "OK" button. Accordingly, the banknote handling apparatus 100, in the form as it is displayed on the screen, performs printing to the tape T, to create a banknote bundle Bs. Thus, is not printed on the tape portion is located in the edge surface of the banknote bundle B, only the tape portions located on the front or back surface of the bill, required items are printed banknote B is created.
[0207]
　In contrast, in the screen when the selection operation of the "reset" button, the operator, it is possible to change the printing mode. Changing the printing form here, or swap the order of the printing items shown in Figure 20, for example, or replace the item that you want to print with another item, or remove items to be printed, limit to fall within the scope of the printing place in, it is possible to add the item to be printed. Thus, by allowing change printing mode, the banknote bundles B, and the tape position located on the front or back surface of the bill, it is possible to print a desired item. If this resetting is selected, until the reconfiguration is complete, the bundling process by bundling unit 9, it is sufficient to interrupt.
[0208]
　Thus, in the banknote handling apparatus 100, by increasing or decreasing the number of items to be printed on the tape T, the length of the print relative to the tape T, it is changed according to the lateral dimension of the bill. Tape this way, that for each of the bill in the short direction multiple denominations of different dimensions of, located on the edge surface of the banknote B to avoid having to print to tape place, located on the surface or the back of the bill only it is possible to print at a location.
[0209]
　Since the user has an item to be printing on the tape T, only by setting the priority order, the paper money processing apparatus 100, according to the lateral dimension of the bill, to automatically set the item to be printed, It is highly convenient. Further, by setting the priority order, even when excluding the items to be printed, much-needed item can be printed on the tape T.
[0210]
　Not only exclude the items to be printed according to the set priority order, if utilized to pack the excess characters or empty space number of digits in the entries, without excluding the items to be printed, positioned on edge surface to avoid printing on a tape portion which makes it possible to fit the printing within a predetermined print position of the tape T of the banknote Bs, it is also possible for the user to print the selection to all tape T become. Incidentally, in the above configuration, the to exclude the items to be printed in accordance with the priority order set, although in combination with stuffing excess characters or empty space number of digits in the entries, the excess in item number or only to pack the empty space of digits of minutes, so as not to print on the tape portion is located in the edge surface, it may be adjusted in length to be printed.
[0211]
　Incidentally, in the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 15, in the banknote bundles Bs, as the print position of the tape portion is located in one of the front or back surface of the bill, to fit within this range, the print length While changing the, as shown in FIG. 21, in the banknote bundles B, and tape portion located on the surface of the bill as the first printing position, the tape portion that is located on the back side as the second printing portion, the first and both the second printing portion may be a printing position. In the example of FIG. 21, the second print position, in the tape portion that is located on the back side, which is one side across the welded portion (the left side in the figure). The second print portion is preferably as was the portion excluding the welded portion. The second print portion also may as another side across the welded portion (the right side in the figure), it may be both sides of the welded portion (right side and left side of the figure). By the printing position both the first and second printing positions, since the range of the printing portion is expanded, without excluding the items to be printed, can not printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface become. For example, in the setting screen shown in FIG. 18, the priority of each item, either printing on the first print position, it may be the priorities on how to print the second print position. For example the length of printing on the tape, if it does not fit within the range of the first printing portion may be configured to print a low priority item to the second print position.
[0212]
　Thus, the length to be printed on the tape T, on the basis of the lateral dimension of the bill, the length to be printed is, when within the range of the first printing portion carries out printing only the first print position (that is, one-side printing mode) on the other hand, the length to be printed, if it does not fit within the range of the first print position is to perform the printing on both the first print position and the second print position (that is, double-sided printing mode) . By switching between the one-side printing mode and a duplex printing mode, while printing as much as possible tape item selected by the user, it is possible to avoid printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface of the banknote bundle B .
[0213]
　Incidentally, a by performing printing on both of the first print portion and the second print position, to exclude printable item described above, and / or, to be combined and to pack at least a portion of the free space in item it may be. That is, even to print on both of the first print portion and the second print position, there is a limit to the lateral direction of the length of the bill. In particular the second print position, as described above, it is preferable that a portion other than the welded portion of the tape T, the second print portion is relatively narrow. Therefore, even to print on both the first and second printing positions, within the scope of the printing portion, in some cases the user can not print all of the choices. In that case, to exclude printable item described above, and / or by performing the filling at least a portion of the free space in the item, without printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface of the banknote bundles Bs, many items as possible, it is possible to print the first print portion and the second print position.
[0214]
　Further, instead of increasing or decreasing the number of printable item on the tape T, by changing the font size print unit 97 prints may adjust the length to be printed on the tape T. In other words, by reducing the font size, number of items to be printed (that is, the number of characters to be printed) even the same, it is possible to reduce the length to be printed. Therefore, the banknote handling apparatus 100 on the basis of the lateral dimension of the banknote Bs, all the items that are selected, to fall within a range of printing positions, may be to change the font size. It is possible to avoid that result in printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface of the banknote B in this way. Incidentally, in order to avoid that the font size is too small, in advance determines the minimum font size, even when the minimum font size, when the length to be printed is not within the range of the printing position, the aforementioned to exclude the items to be printed that is, to or filled free space may be further shortening the length to be printed.
[0215]
　Further, in the above configuration, the user, the items that the printing on the tape T, it is possible to set the priority, for example, to the extent that the user handled, bills of denomination banknote handling apparatus 100 performs the bundling but if such is limited to several (typically, banknote banknote handling apparatus 100 performs the unity is the currency of the country, the number of the denomination is so not much), the the money for each species, the items to be printed on the tape T of banknote bundles Bs, to fit to the print position shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 21, may be set in advance. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, for the lateral dimension is relatively long first denomination, 5 "Operator Name", "bundle number", "Date", "Time" and "bank name" as the item to be printed while selecting the one, for the lateral direction of the dimension is relatively short second denomination, by selecting the "operator name", "bundle number", "date" and "time", to reduce the items to be printed . Setting print item that is stored in the storage unit 1201. In this way, when creating a banknote bundle B on the basis of the denomination of the bill identification portion 3 identifies the print item associated with the denomination, it will be printed on the tape T. As a result, it becomes possible to avoid that result in printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface of the banknote Bs.
[0216]
　Further, for each denomination, instead of setting the items to be printed on the tape T of banknote bundles B, or, in addition to setting the item to be printed, as described above, excess characters fraction in item whether filled free space by setting for each denomination, a length to be printed on the tape T, may be set for each denomination.
[0217]
　Furthermore, for each denomination, by setting the font size to be printed on the tape T, the length to be printed on the tape T, it may be set for each denomination.
[0218]
　Incidentally, a length to be printed on the tape T, even when set for each denomination, as described above, a result of a change in the number of digits of the item, the length to be printed is also no longer fall within the scope of the printing portion It can occur. Therefore, even when setting the length to be printed on the tape T for each denomination, packing to set the priority of the print item as described above, and / or the free space of characters or digits such excess it may be combined.
[0219]
　In addition, in order to adjust the length to be printed, or to increase or decrease the number of items, even in addition to or filled with empty space, when the length to be printed, that do not fit within the range of the printing point, the scope of the printing place from, may not be printed protruding character. That is, the number of characters to be printed, to fall within the scope of the printing position may be reduced.
[0220]
　Further, the banknote handling apparatus 100, the banknote Bs, and to prohibit to perform the printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface, and allowing to perform the printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface, according to the user settings may be switched. In setting to prohibit to perform the printing on the tape portion is located in the edge surface, it is sufficient to perform the setting of the printing mode described above. In this way, further increases the convenience of the banknote handling apparatus 100.
[0221]
　As described above, the paper sheet processing apparatus disclosed herein, the size of the lateral direction are different types of paper sheets and bundled, life-and-death integrated the same kind of sheet, tape in the lateral direction by wrapping, and a bundling unit for generating bound paper sheets, the printed portion of the tape portion that is located on the front or back surface of the paper sheet in the bundling paper sheet, to the printing position, so that along the tape in a printing unit for printing the contents related to the bundling paper sheet, based on the lateral dimension of the paper sheet to perform a unity, not printed on the tape portion that is located on a side face of the bundling paper sheet as such, the length to be printed on the tape, or, a, a print setting unit for setting a position to be printed on the tape.
[0222]
　According to this structure, the binding unit, the size of the lateral direction are different types of paper sheets and bundled. Therefore, depending on the type of paper sheet bundling, the bundling paper sheet, tape portion located on the surface or back surface of the paper sheet, ie the length of the print position is different.
[0223]
　Print setting unit, based on the lateral dimension of the paper sheet to perform a unity, based on the length of the print portion in other words, so as not to print on the tape portions flanking the bundling paper sheet, tape It is printed on the length, or, to set the position to be printed on the tape.
[0224]
　Printing unit, printing and length of the print setting unit has set, according to print position, for example a predetermined position in the tape prior to winding the paper sheet, to print the predetermined length. Incidentally, the printing unit may be adapted to print on the tape after being wound around the sheet.
[0225]
　Thus, the bundling paper sheet is not printed on the tape portion located on a side, only the tape portions located on the front or back surface of the paper sheet, so that printing is performed.
[0226]
　The print setting unit, based on the lateral dimension of the paper sheet to perform a unity, the length to be printed on the tape, and change to be within the scope of the printing position, the printing unit, the accordance with the changed printing length, performs printing to the printing position, may be.
[0227]
　Based on the lateral dimension of the paper sheet to perform a unity, the length to be printed on the tape, by changing to fit in the range of the printing position, the banknote bundles, the tape portions that flank the , it would not print.
[0228]
　Here, by changing the printing length, without changing the contents and the number of characters to be printed, by changing the font size for printing, it includes changing the printing length.
[0229]
　Further, in changing to fit the length to be printed within the printing position also includes various configurations such as the following.
[0230]
　That is, the contents to be printed on the tape, includes a plurality of entries, wherein the printing position, the plurality of items are printed side by side along the tape, the print setting section is printed on the tape the number of items is changed to be within the scope of the printing position, may be.
[0231]
　By reducing the number of items to be printed, it becomes possible to shorten the print length. Therefore, on the basis of the lateral dimension of the paper sheet to perform a unity, by adjusting the number of items to be printed, the length to be printed on the tape, be modified within the ranges of the printing position possible to become.
[0232]
　The are a plurality of each of the items, are set priorities, the print setting unit, to fit in the range of the printing portion, from among the items to be printed on the tape, the low-priority items exclude, it may be.
[0233]
　In this way, higher priority item, in other words, the item is highly necessary to print a critical item, is printed on the tape without being excluded, priority is low, the need for printing low entry, if it does not fit within the print point may be excluded. By setting the priority, while ensuring that the printing of high need information on the tape, the bundling paper sheet, it is possible not to print on the tape portions that flank. Further, by setting the priority order, consisting of a plurality of items, it can be an item to be printed on the tape automatically selects. Print setting unit, change the print length, can automatically.
[0234]
　The print setting unit, based on the input operation of the user, and sets the priority of the plurality of entries, when the user performs the input operation, the paper sheet type of the size of the lateral direction are different every, a state in which printed items to said tape in accordance with the priority order set on the display unit, may be.
[0235]
　Here, the user is a user of the sheet processing apparatus, in particular, the person in charge to set the contents to be printed on the tape. In the configuration of the user, the priority of a plurality of items, it is possible to arbitrarily set, convenience is improved.
[0236]
　Further, in order to set its priority, when a user performs an input operation, for each type of size of the lateral direction are different from the paper sheet, a state of printing an item to a tape according to the priority order set, the display unit to display in. Thus, the user, according to the priority levels set, how the printing is performed on the tape of the bundling paper sheets, for each type of paper sheets, it is possible to confirm. As a result, the user, if necessary, temporarily enables to swap the priorities set, a desired item corresponding to the type of paper sheet, it is possible to print the bundling paper sheet.
[0237]
　The contents to be printed on the tape, in a maximum number of characters set in advance, includes items for the user to set arbitrarily contents, the print setting unit, when the number of characters that the user has set is less than the maximum number of characters to, to fit within the range of the printing position, pack at least part of the excess of the number of characters in the empty space of the item, may be.
[0238]
　For example, operator name, items such as the financial institution name, have set the maximum number of characters in advance, the user is within the maximum number of characters, making it possible to set any of the contents. When the number of characters set by the user is less than the maximum number of characters, number of characters in the space of the surplus, it is also possible to include the length of the item as a blank, and in the configuration, empty the number of surplus pack at least part of the space. It may be filled with all of the empty space. In this way, there because the length of the item is reduced, the length to be printed on the tape, can be kept within a range of printing positions. With this configuration, as the contents to be printed on the tape of the bundling paper sheet, while printing the necessary contents, by shortening the length to be printed on the tape, the bundling paper sheet, to a tape position flanking it becomes possible not to print.
[0239]
　The contents to be printed on the tape, the maximum in the number of digits in the previously set, contains items of varying number of digits, the print setting unit, when the number of digits to be printed is less than the maximum number of digits, It said to fall within the scope of the printing position, pack at least part of the excess of the number of digits of free space of the item, may be.
[0240]
　As item number of digits is changed, it is possible that the serial number of the unity paper sheet that was created, mentioned as a specific example. In addition, time is also, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, for the time of an order of magnitude, such as the 3 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, there is a time of double-digit, such as 13:00. Minutes and seconds as well there is a single-digit and double-digit. Therefore, the time that created the unity paper sheet is also one of the items you want to change the number of digits. In addition, for example, one day, to the date of an order of magnitude such as 2 days, 11 days, there is a day of double-digit, such as 12 days. Therefore, the date you created the unity paper sheet is also an item that you want to change the number of digits.
[0241]
　In this way in the item number of digits is changed, while you set the maximum number of digits in advance, the number of digits to be printed on the tape, there is a case to be less than that. For example, the maximum number of digits of the serial number is taken as three orders of magnitude, it serial number is "1", the number of digits to be printed is that fewer than the maximum number of digits. Incidentally, the serial number "1", also referred to as "001", the number of digits to be printed is substantially the one order of magnitude, included in that number of digits to be printed is less than the maximum number of digits. In this case, "00" "001" can be regarded as the number of digits in excess. In addition, the maximum number of digits of the day when a double-digit, is that the date is one day (this includes also be referred to as "01 (day)"), the maximum number of digits is the number of digits to be printed it is less than.
[0242]
　Thus, when the number of digits to be printed on the tape is less than the maximum number of digits, by filling at least a portion of the excess of the number of digits of free space of the item, it is possible to shorten the printing length become. As a result, as the contents to be printed on the tape of the bundling paper sheet, while printing the necessary contents, in the bundling paper sheet, it is possible not to print on the tape portions that flank.
[0243]
　The print setting unit, to fit in the range of the printing position, to reduce the number of characters to be printed, may be.
[0244]
　This configuration is, at most the total number of characters to be printed on the tape, if it does not fit within the range of printing locations, including the fact that the characters that protrude from the scope of the printing place, not forced to print. In this configuration, in the unity paper sheet, to realize that no printing on the tape where that is located on the side.
[0245]
　The print setting unit, based on the lateral dimension of the paper sheet to perform a unity, and a one-side printing mode to be printed on the tape portion is located in one of the front or back surface of the paper sheet, the paper sheet switching a tape portion located on the surface of the kind, in a duplex printing mode to be printed on each of the tape portion that is located on the back side of the paper sheet, the printing unit according to the print mode, to print on said tape , it may be.
[0246]
　According to this configuration, long print length, when not within the scope of the tape portion is located in one of the front or back surface of the paper sheet is switched to the two-sided printing mode. In this way, a tape portion located on the surface of the paper sheet, will be performing printing on each of the tape portion that is located on the back surface of the sheet, the range of the printing portion is expanded. As a result, while printing the necessary contents on the tape, the bundling paper sheet, allowing avoidance to be printing on the tape portion that flank.
[0247]
　The print setting unit, corresponding to the lateral dimension of the plurality of types of paper sheets of the binding object, to fall within the scope of the printing position, and a length to be printed on said tape respectively set , the printing unit, based on the type of the paper sheet to perform a unity, according to the printing length of the printing setting part has set, performs printing to the printing position, may be.
[0248]
　Thus, in response to the lateral dimension of the plurality of types of paper sheets of the binding object, by setting the length to be printed on the tape, based on the type of the paper sheet to perform a unity, setting according to which the print length, and by performing printing on the printing portion, while printing the necessary contents on the tape, the bundling paper sheet, it is possible not to print on the tape portions that flank.
[0249]
　Here, setting the length to be printed on the tape, as described above, corresponding to the lateral dimension of the plurality of types of paper sheets, it may be performed by setting the item to be printed, the maximum the stuffing at least a portion of the free space characters in excess relative to the number of digits may be performed by setting in correspondence with the lateral dimension of the plurality of types of paper sheets, a plurality of types of paper sheets it may be carried out by setting the font size to correspond to the lateral direction of the dimensions of the class.
[0250]
　The print setting unit, when the bundling unit creates the bundling paper sheet, a state of printing on the tape in the bundling paper sheet is displayed on the display unit, it may be.
[0251]
　When the bundling unit is generating bound paper sheets, by how the printing is performed on the tape of the bundling paper sheet is displayed on the display unit, the user may recognize the printing state It becomes possible.
[0252]
　The print setting unit, the user is configured to be able to change the form of the printing based on the displayed printing state, may be.
[0253]
　As a result of recognizing the printing state, a user may be determined when it is necessary to change the form of printing. In that case, the user to make it possible to change the form of printing, with respect to the tape of the binding sheet materials, it is possible to print in the desired printing state.
[0254]
　The print setting unit, a mode for prohibiting that the printing on the tape portion that is located on a side face of the bundling paper sheet, and a mode for allowing the printing on the tape portion, based on an input operation of the user switching said printing unit, according to the mode, performs printing on the tape, may be.
[0255]
　In this way, the user, a form of printing to the tape, since it is possible to switch optionally, increases convenience of the sheet processing apparatus.
[0256]
