PURPOSE: To reproduce easily ticket information even if it is lost and to improve the reliability by re-magnetizing a ticket obtained by encoding the ticket information and printing it with magnetic ink and reading magnetically the remagnetized ticket information.
CONSTITUTION: When a passenger enters a gate 7 from the direction B and throws a trains ticket 10 into an inserting sot 7a, the train ticket is transported along a transporting path and remagnetized by a re-magnetizing part 8, after which it is discharged to a train ticket taking out slot 7b. Here, the re-magnetizing part 8 re-magnetizes a bar code printing part to a readable magnetic force by a re-magnetizing head 8a. While a ticket information reading part 4 is transporting the ticket in the direction C, it reads out ticket information by a reproducing head 4b, and an AMP4b amplifies and shapes said information, thereby obtaining a signal as shown in the figure. A control part 1 decides the throwing-in direction of the ticket from the signal and stores the ticket information at a memory part 2. A deciding part 5 compares the variety of information for verifying the efficency of the ticket at a line information memory part 3 with the read-out information, decides the efficiency of the ticket and informs a gate control part 6 of the result. When it is efficient, the control part 6 opens the gate: otherwise, said part 6 gives alarm.
