PAPER SHEETS OR THE LIKE PROCESSOR

PURPOSE:To simplify a carrying structure by providing a paper sheets or the like reading means and paper sheets or the like recording means on one reversible carrying path and controlling the carrying direction of the reversible carrying path based on the read result of the reading means. CONSTITUTION:Paper sheets or the like A, for example, a bill, inserted into a port 13 is taken through a reversible carrying path 22 into the title processor. Further, the recorded information of the paper sheets or the like A is read by a paper sheets or the like reading means 24, and recording information is recorded in the paper sheets or the like A by paper sheets or the like recording means 26 in this taking in process. Next, one side of a returning paper cut at the position of a cutting part 21 is returned to the port 13 by the reversible carrying path 22, for which the carrying direction is set to a returning direction by a carrying path control means 43. One carrying path can be eliminated by giving both an inserting path function and a returning path function to one reversible carrying path 22 in the above-mentioned manner. Thus, the carrying structure can be simplified.
