PRINTED MATTER ISSUANCE DEVICE AND PRINTED MATTER TRANSPORT METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printed matter issuance device capable of reducing the size of a recovery mechanism for recovering a print sheet that is not received by a user.SOLUTION: A printed matter issuance device 100 comprises: a transport unit 30 transporting a print sheet P; a transport guide section 60 that includes a transport surface guiding the print sheet P transported by the transport unit 30 along a transport route R1 and including an opening portion formed to recover the print sheet P, and a dam section 83 provided upstream of the opening portion, guiding the print sheet P from upstream to downstream of the opening portion so that the print sheet P passes over the opening portion, and guiding the print sheet P transported from downstream to upstream of the opening portion to the opening portion; and a pressing roller 81 pressing the print sheet P to the dam section 83 while transporting the print sheet P in an opposite direction to a discharge direction. 【課題】不渡しが発生した印刷用紙の回収機構を小型化することができる印刷物発行装置を提供する。【解決手段】印刷物発行装置１００は、印刷用紙Ｐを搬送する搬送部３０と、搬送部３０に搬送される印刷用紙Ｐを搬送経路Ｒ１に沿って案内するとともに、印刷用紙Ｐを回収するための開口部が形成された搬送面と、開口部の上流側に設けられ、当該開口部よりも上流側から下流側へと搬送される印刷用紙Ｐを、当該開口部を乗り越えるように案内するとともに、開口部よりも下流側から上流側へと搬送される印刷用紙Ｐを当該開口部へと案内する堰部８３と、を有する搬送ガイド部６０と、印刷用紙Ｐを排出方向と逆向きに搬送しながら堰部８３に押し付ける押さえローラ８１と、を備えている。【選択図】図２
