Abstract:
1. A medium processing device comprising: a carrying mechanism for carrying a medium in an inserting direction and an ejecting direction; a medium information reading part for reading medium information which is recorded in the medium; a memory for storing the medium information which is read by the medium information reading part; and a control section for controlling the carrying mechanism, the medium information reading part and the memory; wherein the control section comprises: a medium information reading control section which controls so that, when the medium is carried in the inserting direction by the carrying mechanism, the medium information that is recorded in the medium is read by the medium information reading part to store and hold in the memory; an ejection capability determining section which controls so that the medium is carried in the ejecting direction by the carrying mechanism to determine whether the medium is capable of being ejected or not by detecting the presence or absence of a medium information reading signal outputted from the medium information reading part or by determining a driving condition based on a signal from an encoder which is attached to a motor; and a medium information discard control section which controls so that, when the ejection capability determining section has determined that the medium is unable to be ejected, the medium information which is held in the memory is discarded; wherein the ejection capability determining section confirms that a trick for hindering ejection of the medium is attached or not; and wherein the control section controls so that, when the ejection capability determining section has determined that the medium is capable of being ejected, in other words, it is confirmed that a trick for hindering ejection of the medium is not attached, the medium is carried in the inserting direction again by the carrying mechanism for preventing the medium from being pulled out and the medium information which has been held in the memory is outputted to a host device.
