Abstract:
1. A method for operating a transport device for bank notes comprising the steps of: testing genuineness and value of a bank note in a testing unit serving as a first transport unit for transporting the incoming bank note, further transporting the bank note with a second transport unit to a storage unit having an internal transport device; wherein each of the transport units and the internal transport device are separately under the control of a respective control unit for control of transport speeds; wherein the transport speed of the second transport unit is controlled by the respective control unit to be variable, such that upon transfer of an incoming banknote from the first transport unit, the speed of second transport unit increases to be greater than the speed of the first transport unit which is constant, while upon transfer of the bank note to the storage unit, the speed of the second transport unit decreases to be less than the transport speed of the internal transport device.
