Abstract: Provided is a highly reliable automatic transaction apparatus. This automatic transaction apparatus comprises a control unit which generates transaction data related to a transaction, and generates a command for payout, deposit or remittance based on the transaction data, and a first device which detects an abnormality of the control unit based on a command sent from the control unit according to an input from a device that is different from the control unit, wherein the first device sends the command to a second device that is different from the first device when the first device determines that an abnormality of the control unit is not detected based on a command sent from the control unit.

Abstract: A data transmission and receiving apparatus capable of removing a stack of recording sheets that have been ejected. The apparatus includes an image recording mechanism that records an image on a recording sheet, an ejection mechanism that ejects a recording sheet recorded by the image recording mechanism, a sheet tray that accommodates the recording sheet ejected by the ejection mechanism, and a sheet conveyer that is mounted underneath the ejection mechanism and over the sheet tray. The sheet conveyer includes a pair of frames, a plurality of foot members mounted on the bottom surface of the pair of frames, and a sheet conveying mechanism held for rotation between the pair of frames. The sheet conveying mechanism includes a belt that conveys the recording sheet ejected by the ejection mechanism, a drive roller that drives the belt, and an idle roller.
