Abstract:
1. A method for separating a stack of notes of value, comprising: wherein the stack of notes of value is arranged in a separating position, wherein a withdrawal element is driven such that it transports at least one note of value of the stack of notes of value being in contact with the withdrawal element in a separating direction in the direction of a separating gap formed between a transport element and a counter run element, wherein, when the note of value reaches the separating gap, the transport element is driven such that it transports the note of value further in the separating direction, wherein by means of a sensor unit arranged downstream of the separating gap at a monitoring position, the number of the notes of value withdrawn and transported through the separating gap is determined, wherein the withdrawal element, the transport element and/or the counter run element are controlled depending on the number determined, wherein if by means of the sensor unit it has been determined that a plurality of notes of value jointly have been withdrawn as a multiple withdrawal, the counter run element is driven such that it transports all but one note of value of the multiple withdrawal, which is contacted by the counter run element, back in the direction of the stack of notes of value; wherein the counter run element is driven until the sensor unit detects that only exactly one note of value is still present at the monitoring position, and until the front edge, as viewed in the separating direction, of a note of value of the multiple withdrawal last transported back is arranged within the separating gap, and in that subsequently, the transport element is again driven such that it transports a remaining note of value further in the separating direction; and wherein the counter run element is not driven at least until the front edge, as viewed in the separating direction, of the note of value withdrawn has reached the monitoring position.
