The automatic ticket issuing machine 1 rotates, upon detection of the medium left without being picked up, clamp rollers 11 and 12 in a direction reverse to that of ticket issuing time to temporarily take the medium into the machine 1. After controlling the hole closing cover 4 to an open state, the clamp rollers 11 and 12 are rotated in the same direction as that of the ticket issuing time to discharge the medium into the duct 6.
