Abstract:
A machine includes multiple types of paper sheet handling units, each of which includes a conveying mechanism for conveying a banknote and performs a different handling process on the banknote; and a controller that controls the paper sheet handling units. Each of the paper sheet handling units includes a connecting portion that connects conveying paths of the conveying mechanisms, and the connecting portions are provided in common positions among the paper sheet handling units. The controller detects types of the paper sheet handling units and relative positions of the paper sheet handling units in a conveying pathway of the banknote, with respect to the paper sheet handling units that are connected via the connecting portions, and controls each of the paper sheet handling units based on the type and the relative position.

Claim (Index 7):
A method of controlling a paper sheet handling machine including:\n multiple types of paper sheet handling units, each of which includes a conveying mechanism for conveying a paper sheet and performs a different handling process on the paper sheet; and a controller that controls the multiple types of the paper sheet handling units, wherein each of the multiple types of the paper sheet handling units includes a connecting portion that connects conveying paths of the conveying mechanisms, and the connecting portions are provided in common positions among the multiple types of the paper sheet handling units, the method comprising: detecting types of the paper sheet handling units and relative positions of the paper sheet handling units in conveying pathway of the paper sheet, with respect to the multiple types of the paper sheet handling units that are connected via the connecting portions; and controlling each of the multiple types of the paper sheet handling units based on the type and the relative position.
