An automated teller machine includes a cassette, a strongbox protection wall, an external conveyance path, and a plurality of external branch conveyance paths. The cassette includes a plurality of storage parts configured to store a paper medium, and a case having a plurality of entrances through which the paper medium passes to be accumulated in the storage parts or is withdrawn from the storage parts to pass. The strongbox protection wall covers the cassette and has an external entrance through which the paper medium passes to be loaded into the cassette and is unloaded from the cassette to pass. The external conveyance path extending to penetrate the strongbox protection wall through the external entrance. The plurality of external branch conveyance paths extends between the external conveyance path and the entrances of the case, respectively.

A printer has a lower module and upper module. The lower module has a paper feed unit and a printing unit. A back of the upper module is hinged to lower module. A paper handling part holds paper after printing by the printing unit. A discharge unit in the upper module moves the paper out of the upper module while maintaining a hold on a rear portion of the paper and to draw the paper back into the upper module after an elapse of time. A container includes a support member that rotates into contact with and moves away from a lower part of the upper module. The container configured to receive and store the paper that has been drawn back by the discharge unit. The paper is stored in a region between the support member and the lower part of the upper module.

To prevent erroneous transfer onto a paper sheet loading platform and improve the operation stability over the entire length of a long-edge direction of a pressing member by ensuring a long time during which the pressing member continues to push in a paper sheet alone. To include two rotating bodies 120 and 130 that have recesses 120a and 130a and are rotatable in opposite directions to each other in synchronization with each other, a pressing member 140 that is movable and presses an intermediate portion of a back of a paper sheet forward, a drive mechanism 180, and a paper sheet loading platform 200. The drive mechanism rotates each rotating body by an angle from 195 degrees to 270 degrees in a time period after the pressing member starts to bring a center of the paper sheet into contact with the paper sheet loading platform from an initial state until the pressing member leaves the center of the paper sheet.

An automated till register system that includes at least one processor, at least one Point of Sale (POS) system and interface, two cash recycler machines and one coin recycler machine arranged in a twin opposite configuration, the cash recycler machines oriented on opposite sides of one another, one on a cashier side and one on a customer side with a coin recycler located in the middle of the system between both cash recyclers. The system being networkable and having memory to perform executable instructions involving both cash and cashless transactions over a POS network thereby eliminating the need for a cash drawer and minimizing the handling of cash at every phase of the transactional process. Methods of use are implemented to eliminate cash drawer systems and minimize cash handling at all steps of the transactional process.

A money handling method to be executed by a money handling machine including a body and an extension unit. The method includes: instructing the extension unit to replenish the body with money with a specified denomination; replenishing the body from the extension unit in accordance with the instruction; recognizing a denomination of each of the money sent from the extension unit; storing the money in a first storage unit associated with a first denomination in a first case where the denomination recognized is the first denomination identical to the specified denomination; storing money in a second storage unit in a second case where the denomination recognized is a second denomination different from the specified denomination; and continuing the replenishment with the money using the extension unit as instructed in both the first case and the second case.

A medium processing device includes a conveyance guide that forms first, second and third conveyance paths that intersect, a blade configured to be rotatable around a blade center point, and that switches a conveyance route of the medium by connecting any two of the three conveyance paths with each other, and a first pair, second pair and third pair of conveyance rollers that are rotatable and are configured to hand off the medium between two conveyance paths connected by the blade. The first pair of conveyance rollers includes a first roller and a second roller. The second roller is closer than the first roller to the third pair of conveyance rollers. A radius of the second roller is larger than a radius of the first roller. A first center holding distance is different from one or both of a second center holding distance and a third center holding distance.

A first transport path is put into a first state capable of transporting a paper sheet when a first portion and a second portion engage with each other, and put into a second state in which the second portion is swingable with respect to the first portion about a first swing axis extending in a direction orthogonal to a first direction and horizontal when engagement between the first portion and the second portion is released. A contact portion comes into contact with the second portion, thereby engaging the second portion with the first portion when a second unit in which the first transport path is in the second state is moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
