Along with the retracting operation of the first stopper 29, the leading roll paper R1 waiting at the leading position of the roll paper waiting section 22 rolls on the tilt table 28 and the sorting lever 31, and the statement sheet side. Is guided to the roll paper setting section 32 (step n4).

Here, for the roll paper R, one sheet of the statement slip is fed out to confirm the operation, the roll paper R is collected and it is confirmed that the supplied roll paper R is initially set (step n5),
After confirming the initial setting, the initial setting of the roll paper is completed, the statement slip is allowed to be issued, and the first stopper 29 is returned to the original stopper position in preparation for the supply of the next roll paper. The roll paper R2, which has been evacuated and secondly supplied for supply, is guided to the position of the first stopper 29 and made to stand by, and the completion of the standby is detected and confirmed by the roll paper detection sensor S1 and the roll paper on the statement slip side is confirmed. The supply operation is finished (steps n6 to n7).

Next, the paper feeding operation of the printer 21 when the journal paper runs out will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. Now, when using a transaction using ATM11, if the journal runs out of paper (step n11), the CPU
When the paper is supplied, first, the winding base 41 is tilted downward from the horizontal holding state to collect the wound roll paper Rj that has been wound up to the lower journal collecting section 43 via the chute 42, and Prepare for the next winding of the journal (step n12).

Subsequently, the CPU 51 tilts and sets the sorting lever 31 toward the journal side, and then the first stopper 2
9 is evacuated (steps n13 to n14).

As a result, the leading roll paper R1 of the roll paper standby portion 22 whose position is regulated by the first stopper 29 rolls on the distribution lever 31 and is guided to the roll paper setting portion 38 on the journal side (step n15). ).
