Abstract:
1. An apparatus for aligning a bill supplied onto a transfer path with a center line of the transfer path, the apparatus comprising: a fixed support unit comprising a first transfer roller applying frictional force to the bill so that the bill is moved in a transfer direction of the transfer path; a movable support unit disposed in succession to the fixed support unit, the movable support unit being provided so as to be movable in a lateral direction of the transfer path to move the bill in the lateral direction of the transfer path; a bill position sensor sensing a position of the bill; a controller controlling a lateral displacement of the movable support unit in response to information about the position of the bill, thus aligning the bill with the center line; and a supply unit configured to supply bills onto the transfer path in such a way that the bills are spaced apart from each other by a distance corresponding to at least a length of the movable support unit.
