An apparatus for storing a medium comprising:
- a safe having an entrance for replenishment and recovery to which a transit cassette is selectively connected;
- a reception unit configured to deposit and withdraw a medium by a customer;
- an identification unit serving to identify whether the medium is a normal banknote or a rejection banknote;
- a deposit cassette configured to store the medium deposited through the reception unit;
- a recycle cassette configured to store the medium recognized as the normal banknote;
- a conveyance path configured to convey the medium;
- a control unit configured to control the conveyance path;
- and
- a temporary retention unit configured to temporarily store a medium,
- wherein the conveyance path conveys the medium between the entrance, the reception unit, the identification unit, the temporary retention unit, the deposit cassette, and the recycle cassette, and
- wherein the control unit is configured to control the conveyance path such that the medium stored in the deposit cassette is conveyed through the identification unit to the temporary retention unit, and then the medium conveyed from the transit cassette is conveyed to the identification unit, and the medium identified as the rejection banknote in the identification unit is conveyed to the deposit cassette.
A method of controlling a medium storing apparatus comprising:
- a medium conveying step of conveying a medium stored in a recycle cassette and a deposit cassette to an identification unit;
- a primary medium identification step of identifying whether the medium conveyed to the identification unit is a normal banknote or a rejection banknote;
- a medium recovery step of recovering the medium, identified as the normal banknote in the identification unit, through a recovery transit cassette connected to a safe;
- a rejection banknote storage step of conveying the medium, identified as the rejection banknote in the identification unit, to a reject cassette;
- a medium input step of receiving a medium from a replenishment transit cassette connected to a safe and conveying the medium to the identification unit;
- a secondary medium identification step of identifying whether the medium conveyed to the identification unit is a normal banknote or a rejection banknote;
- a medium replenishment step of conveying the medium identified as the normal banknote in the secondary medium identification step to the recycle cassette to store the medium therein;
- a temporary storage step of conveying the medium identified as the rejection banknote in the secondary medium identification step to the deposit cassette to temporarily store the medium therein;
- and
- a rejection banknote treatment step of conveying the medium temporarily stored in the deposit cassette through the identification unit to the replenishment transit cassette.
