Next, the structure and operation of the magnetic stripe read / write unit 5 in the composite form processing unit 102 will be described in detail.

The magnetic stripe read / write unit 5 is provided with a magnetic head movable along the form conveyance path, and the magnetic head is scanned while the passbook is conveyed while scanning the magnetic stripe attached to the passbook on the form conveyance path. The first mode, which is performed fixedly, and the second mode, which is performed while moving the magnetic head by stopping the passbook transportation, are switched appropriately.

FIG. 6 shows a structural example of the magnetic stripe read / write section 5. As shown in FIG.
Is supported by the lead screw 42 installed along the form conveyance path 107, and can be conveyed back and forth along the form conveyance path 107 by a distance according to the rotation amount of the lead screw 42. 109 is this magnetic head 4
It is a range of movement of 1.

The lead screw 42 is rotationally driven by a motor 44. A pulley 43 is fixed to one end of the lead screw 42.
A drive belt 46 is endlessly hung between the drive belt 45 and the drive shaft 45. Therefore, while the conveyance of the passbook 62 is stopped and the magnetic head 41 is traveling, the magnetic stripe 67
In the second mode of scanning a, the lead screw 42 is controlled by controlling the rotation direction and the rotation amount of the motor 44.
Can be transported in a desired direction and for a desired distance.

The magnetic stripe read / write unit 5
Includes a lock mechanism 4 that holds the magnetic head 41 in place.
7 is provided. This lock mechanism 47 is, for example,
This can be realized by the solenoid 50 that fits with the engaging protrusion 48 provided on the magnetic head 41 to drive the restraining component 49 for restraining the magnetic head 41 up and down.

The mechanical movement of the magnetic stripe read / write section 5 is as follows.

In the first mode in which the magnetic head 41 is fixed and the magnetic stripe 67a is scanned, the rotation amount of the lead screw 42 is controlled to move the magnetic head 41 to the restraining position by the lock mechanism 47, and the solenoid 50 is turned on. It drives and raises the restraint component 49. As a result, the restraint parts 4
9 is engaged with the engaging protrusion 48 of the magnetic head 41, and the magnetic head 41 is in a restrained state.

On the contrary, in the second mode in which the magnetic stripe 67a is scanned while moving the magnetic head 41, the restraining part 49 of the lock mechanism 47 is lowered to release the restrained state of the magnetic head 41 and the magnetic head 41 is moved to a predetermined position. The lead screw 42 is moved to the scanning start position of the second pass, the conveyance of the passbook 62 is stopped, and the lead screw 42
The magnetic head 41 is conveyed at a constant speed from the scanning start position to the scanning end position by the rotation of.

Next, the procedure of the read / write operation for the magnetic stripe of the passbook will be described.

(Magnetic Stripe Reading Operation) As shown in FIG. 7, when reading the magnetic stripe of the passbook,
First, the magnetic stripe read / write unit 5 is made to function in the first mode. That is, the passbook is conveyed while the magnetic head 41 is fixed at a fixed position to read the magnetic stripe (step 11). In this first mode, high-speed reading is possible, but the lead quality is easily affected by the state of the passbook and the transport system. If the data is successfully read by reading the magnetic stripe (YES in step 12), the passbook is continuously conveyed and is conveyed to the printing unit 10. That is, the reading of the magnetic stripe in the magnetic stripe read / write unit 5 is completed.

When the data cannot be correctly read by reading the magnetic stripe in the first mode (NO in step 12), the passbook is returned to a predetermined position on the conveyance path 107 and stopped (step 13). ). The predetermined position is a position where the entire length of the magnetic stripe 67a of the passbook 62 is within the moving range 109 of the magnetic head 41, as shown in FIG.

After that, the magnetic stripe read / write section 5 is made to function in the second mode. That is, the magnetic head 41 is moved while the conveyance of the passbook is stopped to read the magnetic stripe (step 14). At this time, the direction of movement of the magnetic head 41 may be either the document conveyance direction or the opposite direction.

If the data is successfully read by reading the magnetic stripe in the second mode (YES in step 15), the passbook is started to be conveyed to the printing unit 10.

On the other hand, if the data cannot be correctly read even by reading the magnetic stripe in the second mode (NO in step 15), the reading in the second mode is tried again (read retry). . If the data cannot be read correctly even after the specified number of read retries (YE in step 17)
S), the passbook is returned because there is a problem with the magnetic stripe of the passbook (step 18).

(Magnetic Stripe Write Operation) As shown in FIG. 8, when writing data to the magnetic stripe of the passbook, first, the magnetic stripe read / write unit 5 is made to function in the first mode. That is, the passbook is carried while the magnetic head 41 is fixed at a fixed position to write data on the magnetic stripe (step 21).

Next, in order to evaluate the signal quality of the written data, the write data is read (in the first mode) by the magnetic head 41 fixed in a fixed position while carrying the reverse pass of the passbook (step 22). . This signal quality judgment is different from the judgment as to whether or not the above data could be read correctly. The details will be described later.

If there is no problem in the signal quality evaluation result (YES in step 23), the reverse pass conveyance of the passbook is continued as it is, the passbook is conveyed to the insertion slot 1 and returned to the user.

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a problem in the signal quality (NO in step 23), the passbook is set to the transport path 1.
It is returned to the predetermined position above 07 and stopped (step 24).

Next, the magnetic stripe read / write section 5
To function in the second mode. That is, the magnetic head 41 is moved with the passbook stopped, and the read of write data for signal quality evaluation is performed with higher quality (step 25). After that, the signal quality is evaluated again, and if there is no problem with the signal quality (YES in step 26), the reverse conveyance of the passbook is continued as it is, the passbook is conveyed to the insertion slot 1 and returned to the user.

If there is a problem with the signal quality, the second
Read of write data (read retry) and signal quality evaluation in this mode are repeated. If the signal quality is judged to be NG even after repeating this operation a prescribed number of times (YES in step 28), data writing to the magnetic stripe is performed again in the second mode (step 29). That is, the light system is switched to a higher quality.

After that, the write data for signal quality evaluation is read in the second mode (step 30). If there is no problem in the signal quality (YES in step 31), the reverse conveyance of the passbook is continued. The passbook is conveyed to the insertion slot 1 and returned to the user. If there is still a problem with the signal quality, the write data read (read retry) and the signal quality evaluation in the second mode are repeated again. If the signal quality is judged to be NG even after repeating this operation a prescribed number of times (YES in step 33), there is a possibility that the magnetic stripe read / write unit 5 itself has an abnormality. It is stopped and entrusted to the staff (step 34).

(Regarding Evaluation of Signal Quality) Next, a method of evaluating signal quality will be described.

FIG. 9 shows the functional blocks of the magnetic stripe read / write section 5 of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the magnetic stripe read / write unit 5 of this example outputs the output signals of the magnetic head 41, the head amplifier 51, the waveform shaping circuit 52 for shaping the output signals of the head amplifier 51, and the output signal of the head amplifier 51. A / D converter 5 for A / D conversion
3, MC reader / writer control circuit 54, motor / solenoid control circuit 55, etc.

The MC reader / writer control circuit 54 controls the entire magnetic stripe read / write unit 5 according to a command from the composite form processing unit control unit 21, and also controls the magnetic data with the composite form processing unit control unit 21. Transfers read / write data of stripes. The motor / solenoid control circuit 55 receives a command from the MC reader / writer control circuit 54 to drive the motor 44 and the solenoid 50 in the magnetic stripe read / write unit 5.
To drive.

Waveform shaping circuit 52 and A / D converter 53
The respective outputs of the above are given to the MC reader / writer control circuit 54. The MC reader / writer control circuit 54 analyzes these outputs to evaluate the signal quality.

FIG. 10 shows a signal waveform relating to signal quality evaluation.

The waveform shaping circuit 52 generates an F / 2F signal from the output waveform of the head amplifier 51. The F / 2F signal is a pulsed signal having a half cycle of the original signal. The MC reader / writer control circuit 54 determines the bit interval t of this F / 2F signal. Further, the MC reader / writer control circuit 54 takes in the output of the A / D converter 53 and detects the peak value p at the time of magnetization reversal. Signal quality evaluation is performed using these two parameters, the bit interval t and the peak value p.

The MC reader / writer control circuit 54 stores individual judgment criteria for these two parameters, and evaluates the measured values using these judgment criteria. For example, the quality is determined to be good when both the bit interval t and the peak value p, which are the measurement results, are within a range that guarantees good signal quality.

As described above, according to this embodiment, in the reading / writing of the magnetic stripe of the passbook by the magnetic stripe read / write unit 5, the magnetic head 41 is usually fixed at a fixed position to carry the passbook. Therefore, read / write of the magnetic stripe is performed with emphasis on speed, and if data cannot be correctly read from the magnetic stripe, the magnetic head 41 is moved to perform read / write with emphasis on quality, thereby achieving both speed and quality at the same time. It will be possible.

Further, according to this embodiment, when data is written to the magnetic stripe, the signal quality of the write data is evaluated and only the passbook in which the signal quality is guaranteed is returned to the user. Therefore, with respect to the passbook returned to the user, it is possible to generally reduce the probability that trouble will occur in reading / writing the magnetic stripe. Further, also in the signal quality evaluation of the write data, since the passbook side is normally carried and the write data is read with emphasis on the speed, there is an effect that the time spent for the signal quality evaluation can be shortened.

Further, by performing the signal quality evaluation on the basis of the bit interval and the peak value analyzed from the output waveform of the head amplifier, the quality evaluation can be performed with high accuracy.

The form processing apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention,
Regarding the read / write to the recording medium provided on the form, the first mode in which the form is conveyed by the conveying mechanism to read / write to the recording medium and the read / write to the recording medium by moving the head by the head moving mechanism By switching between the second mode for performing and the second mode, it is possible to achieve both the processing speed and the read / write quality.

Further, according to the present invention, by analyzing the signal waveform output from the head and evaluating the signal quality, it is possible to perform highly accurate quality evaluation, and the passbook returned to the user is magnetically evaluated. It is possible to reduce the overall probability of troubles in stripe read / write.
