Abstract:
1. A document processing device, comprising: an input receptacle adapted to receive at least two batches of documents, each batch including currency bills and a header card, each header card bearing source identification information identifying the source of the currency bills in the respective batch; at least one output receptacle adapted to receive the currency bills after the currency bills have been processed, and adapted to receive the header card; a transport mechanism adapted to transport the currency bills, one at a time, from the input receptacle to the at least one output receptacle along a transport path; an evaluation unit adapted to evaluate the currency bills and distinguish header cards from currency bills; memory coupled to the evaluation unit for storing batch document information based on evaluating the at least two batches of documents; a data entry interface for entering into memory source identification information from the header cards, wherein the source identification information is entered into memory before or after evaluating all batches of documents; and a controller coupled to the evaluation unit, the controller being adapted to control operation of the transport mechanism, to control operation of the evaluation unit, and to associate, on a sequential basis, source identification information in memory with batch document information in memory.
