Abstract

In order to display information for rejected paper sheets in an easily recognizable manner, the paper sheet handling apparatus includes: a transport path configured to transport paper sheets; a recognition unit configured to recognize the paper sheets transported in the transport path; a reject unit configured to stack rejected paper sheets discharged from the transport path based on a recognition result by the recognition unit; and a display unit configured to display information for rejected paper sheets in a manner which is different for a case where the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit can be determined, and for a case where the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit cannot be determined.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sheet handling apparatus comprising:
a transport unit configured to transport sheets;
a recognition unit configured to recognize the sheets transported by the transport unit;
a reject unit configured to stack sheets that have been each determined to be a rejected sheet based on a recognition result by the recognition unit;
a display unit; and
a control unit configured to obtain a first numerical value and a second numerical value based on the recognition result by the recognition unit, the first numerical value representing the number of first rejected sheets, the second numerical value representing the number of times a second rejected sheet has been handled, each of the first rejected sheets being a rejected sheet whose number of sheets is determinable, the second reject sheet being a rejected sheet whose number of sheets is indeterminable, wherein
in a case where the control unit has obtained the first numerical value and the second numerical value, the control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit displays information based on the first numerical value and the second numerical value.

2. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit displays, as the information, a numerical value obtained by totaling the first numerical value and the second numerical value.

3. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit displays, as the information, each of the first numerical value and the second numerical value.

4. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit changes a display mode between a case where the control unit has obtained the second numerical value and a case where the control unit has not obtained the second numerical value.

5. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit displays the second numerical value, the control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit displays a mark indicating that the second rejected sheet has been handled.

6. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the control unit has obtained the second numerical value, the control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit displays the second numerical value in association with a cause of rejection.

7. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the display unit such that the display unit displays, as the information, each of the first numerical value and the second numerical value in different colors from each other.

8. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where at least one of: an overlapping state; a chaining state; an abnormal thickness state; and an abnormal size state, has been detected based on the recognition result by the recognition unit, the control unit determines that the second rejected sheet has been handled.

9. A sheet handling apparatus comprising:
a transport unit configured to transport sheets;
a recognition unit configured to recognize the sheets transported by the transport unit;
a display unit; and
a control unit configured to cause, based on a recognition result by the recognition unit, the display unit to display information based on the number of sheets that have been each determined as one rejected sheet and on the number of times specific handling has been performed,
wherein the specific handling is handling in which it has been unable to determine whether at least one of the sheets to be handled is one sheet or not in the specific handling.

10. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the control unit causes the display unit to display, as the information, a numerical value obtained by totaling the number of sheets and the number of times.

11. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the control unit causes the display unit to display, as the information, each of the number of sheets and the number of times.

12. A sheet handling apparatus comprising:
a recognition unit configured to recognize, as a rejected sheet, a sheet other than a sheet satisfying a predetermined condition;
a control unit configured to count, during a recognition operation of the recognition unit, the number of rejected sheets each being countable, and the number of times the recognition operation has been performed for a rejected sheet other than the rejected sheet being countable; and
a display unit configured to display information based on the number of the rejected sheets each being countable and the number of times.

13. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the display unit displays, as the information, a numerical value obtained by totaling the number of the rejected sheets each being countable and the number of times.

14. The sheet handling apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the display unit displays, as the information, each of the number of the rejected sheets each being countable and the number of times.
