Abstract
In a sheet processing apparatus which checks sheets and sorts the sheets for a plurality of cassettes on the basis of the check result and conditions for the sheets which are assigned to the respective cassettes, conditions for sheets such as bill types and bill states which are assigned to the respective cassettes are displayed on a display unit. When an instruction to save these setting contents is issued while a cassette and conditions for sheets which are displayed on the display unit are selected, the selected conditions for sheets are assigned to the selected cassette.
Claims20
A bill processing apparatus, comprising:
- one or more sealing devices, each sealing device including two cassettes;
- a sorting device, coupled to the sealing devices, and including a plurality of cassettes, the sorting device configured to check a bill type, a fit/unfit state, and to sort the bills into the cassettes of the sorting device and the sealing device;
- and
- a display unit configured to display information in a window format regarding the sealing device cassettes and the sorting device cassettes and associated conditions, including the bill type, fit/unfit state, for each bill to be received in each of the sealing device cassettes and the sorting device cassettes;
- wherein, the sorting device comprises:
- a first selection which enables selection of one of the cassettes from the sealing device cassettes or the sorting device cassettes that are displayed in a window of the display unit;
- a second selection which selects one of the bill types that are displayed in a window of the display unit, as one of the conditions for each bill to be received in the selected sealing device cassette or selected sorting device cassette as selected by the first selection;
- a third selection which enables adjustment of fit/unfit state thresholds that are displayed in a window of the display unit, as one of the conditions for each bill to be received in the selected sealing device cassette or selected sorting device cassette, the fit/unfit state thresholds determining whether each bill is a fit or unfit bill;
- a setup unit which, in response to the selection of the sealing device cassette or the sorting device cassette by the first selection assigns the conditions selected by the second selection to the selected sealing device cassette or selected sorting device cassette as selected by the first selection;
- wherein, the sealing device further comprises:
- a strapper selection unit which, in response to the first selection selecting one of the sealing device cassettes, enables setting of contents to be printed on a strap via a window of the display unit, the printed strap being used to bundle a predetermined number of bills during a sealing operation, and
- wherein, when the setup unit assigns the same conditions for both of the two sealing device cassettes, the sealing device enables one of the two sealing device cassettes that has collected the predetermined number of bills to perform the sealing operation by bundling the collected bills of that sealing device cassette while enabling the other of the two sealing device cassettes to continue to collect the bills.
A method for a bill processing apparatus that includes one or more sealing devices each having two cassettes and a sorting device, coupled to the sealing devices, having a plurality of cassettes, the sorting device configured to check a bill type, a fit/unfit state, and to sort the bills into the cassettes of the sorting device and the sealing device, and a display unit configured to display information in a window format regarding the sealing device cassettes and the sorting device cassettes and associated conditions of each bill to be received in each of the sealing device cassettes and the sorting device cassettes, the method comprising:
- performing a first selection to select one of the cassettes from the sealing device cassettes or the sorting device cassettes that are displayed in a window of the display unit;
- performing a second selection to select one of a plurality of bill types displayed in a window of the display unit, as one of the conditions for each bill to be received by the first selected sealing device cassette or selected sorting device cassette;
- performing a third selection to adjust fit/unfit state thresholds that are displayed in a window of the display unit, as one of the conditions for each bill to be received in the first selected sealing device cassette or selected sorting device cassette, the fit/unfit state thresholds determining whether each bill is a fit or unfit bill;
- assigning, by a setup unit of the sorting device, the conditions prescribed by the second selection to the first selected sealing device cassette or selected sorting device cassette;
- setting, by a strapper selection unit of the sealing device, contents to be printed on a strap via a window of the display unit, the printed strap being used to bundle a predetermined number of bills during a sealing operation,
- wherein, when the setup unit assigns the same conditions for both of the two sealing device cassettes, the sealing device enables one of the two sealing device cassettes that has collected the predetermined number of bills to perform the sealing operation by bundling the collected bills of that sealing device cassette while enabling the other of the two sealing device cassettes to continue to collect the bills.
