PURPOSE: To save energy and reduce workhours in the chart conveying system of a general hospital by providing a single mode switchover means for operating a station separately from an automatic warehouse side on the station for receiving and sending out charts.

CONSTITUTION: A single mode switchover button 84 is provided on the control panel 56 of a station 12B. By pressing this single mode switchover button 84, the station 12B can be separated from a chart automatic warehouse side including a conveying device 66 and can be operated in a single mode. Hence, at the time of continuously carrying out interruption conveyance, for example, merely the station 12B may be switched over to the single mode by this means and an interruption button 83 may be operated, while setting the destination and inputting send-out. Thereby, the send-out can be performed without causing system down even at the time of the failure of a conveying system from the automatic warehouse, saving energy while reducing workhours.
