Abstract
Abstract A ticket processing terminal device comprises a hopper (36) to store medium that is to become presecribed tickets, a separation and pick-up section (37) for separating and picking up one sheet of medium at a time from the hopper (36), a stacker (40) to store those of the tickets inserted through the insertion opening (34) which are replaced by the medium, a print part (45) for printing on the ticket that has been inserted through the insertion opening (34) or the medium picked up from the hopper (36), and is to be discharged through a discharge opening (35), a transport path (51a - 51g) to transport the tickets and medium between the above mentioned component elements, and a ticket information reader (52, 53, 55) for magnetically or optionally reading the information that has been given to the ticket, and a magnetic write part (53) disposed along the transport path (51a-51g) for writing, erasing or rewriting on the magnetic stripe if the ticket inserted through the insertion opening (34) or the medium picked up from the hopper (36) has such a magnetic stripe.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
214 words
A ticket processing terminal device comprising an operation part (30) to input the information necessary for the processing of the tickets, a display part (31) to display information, messages or the like necessary for ticket processing, a ticket insertion opening (34), a discharge opening (35), a hopper (36) to store medium that is to become prescribed tickets, a separation and pick-up means (37) for separating and picking up one sheet of medium at a time from the hopper, a stacker (40) to store those of the tickets inserted through said insertion opening which are replaced by the medium, a print part (45) for printing on the ticket that has been inserted through the insertion opening or the medium picked up from the hopper, and is to be discharged through the discharge opening, a transport path (51a - 51g) to transport said tickets and medium between the above mentioned component elements, and a ticket information reader means (52, 53, 55) for magnetically or optically reading the information that has been given to the ticket, and a magnetic write part (53) disposed along the transport path for writing, erasing or rewriting on the magnetic stripe if the ticket inserted through the insertion opening or the medium picked up from the hopper has such a magnetic stripe.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
103 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said ticket information reader means comprises an identification information reader means (52) disposed along the transport path to read identification information that has been given to the ticket inserted through the insertion opening, a magnetic read part (53) located along said transport path to read information written on the magnetic stripe, if the ticket inserted from the insertion opening or the medium picked up from the hopper has such a magnetic stripe, and an optical read part (55) disposed along the transport path to read optically-readable information given to the ticket inserted through the insertion opening.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A device according to claim 2, wherein said magnetic read parts reads information written on the magnetic stripe of a ticket inserted through the insertion opening, and said magnetic write part appends new information to or changes the information on said ticket.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A device according to claim 2, further comprising a manual magnetic read part manually operated to read information on the magnetic stripe of a card, or the like.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
84 words
A device according to claim 4, wherein said device further comprises a control means for controlling said display part to indicate a failure in said magnetic read part, and said manual read part is also capable of reading information on the magnetic stripe of a ticket, whereby when a failure in the magnetic read part is indicated on the display part, said manual read part is used in place of said magnetic read part to read information on the magnetic stripe on the ticket.
