The temporary-stacking section includes a first stage for stacking the bills and a second stage located above the first stage for receiving the slip. The printed slip is transferred to the second stage from one side of and at an angle of substantially 90 degrees relative to the second stage by a transferring section. A bundle transporting section includes lower transport belts interposed between a bill outlet of the dispenser and the temporary-stacking section, and upper transport belts movable in a rotational motion relative to the lower transport belts. The bills and slip are piled up on the temporary-stacking section and then driven toward the bill outlet of the dispenser by the upper and lower transport belts. The slip is fed from a printing unit directly onto the top of bills which are piled up in a horizontal position in the same manner as during the transfer.
