Claims6
A paper sheet processing apparatus comprising:
- an insertion slot into which a paper sheet is inserted;
- a conveyance mechanism which is capable of conveying the paper sheet having been inserted from the insertion slot;
- a reading device which reads the paper sheet being conveyed by the conveyance mechanism;
- an authenticity judging unit which judges the authenticity of the paper sheet having been read by the reading device;
- and
- a control unit which controls a conveyance speed of the paper sheet by the conveyance mechanism,
- wherein the control unit controls the conveyance speed by the conveyance mechanism after reading by the reading device is completed.
A method of processing a paper sheet, wherein the paper sheet is conveyed from an insertion slot through which the paper sheet is inserted and a reading device reads information of the paper sheet, comprising:
- conveying the paper sheet having been inserted from the insertion slot at a first speed to a position where the information of the paper sheet can be read by the reading device;
- judging an authenticity of the paper sheet based on the information having been read;
- and
- setting a conveyance speed of the paper sheet to be conveyed to a housing part such that the conveyance speed is controlled to become a second speed which is higher than the first speed after the paper sheet is judged as a legitimate paper sheet as a result of the judging.
