Methods and devices for dynamically assigning document parameters to output receptacles of multiple output receptacle document evaluating devices. Documents are directed into individual output receptacles based upon their document parameter or parameters. For example, according to one embodiment a currency evaluating device comprises an input receptacle adapted to receive a stack of currency bills, a plurality of output receptacles, a transport mechanism, and a processor adapted to control the operation of the device. The processor is programmed to determine the denomination of a bill and determine if an output receptacle is associated with the denomination of the bill. If an output receptacle is not associated with the denomination of the bill, the processor is programmed to associate an output receptacle with the denomination of the bill and cause the bill to be transported to an output receptacle associated with the denomination of the bill.
A method of sorting currency bills, each having an associated denomination, using a currency bill evaluating device, the currency evaluating device comprising an input receptacle, a plurality of output receptacles, and a transport mechanism positioned to individually transport bills from the input receptacle to the output receptacles, the method comprising the acts of:
A method of sorting currency bills, each having an associated denomination, using a currency bill evaluating device, the currency evaluating device comprising an input receptacle, a plurality of output receptacles, and a transport mechanism positioned to individually transport bills from the input receptacle to the output receptacles, the method comprising the acts of:
A method of sorting currency bills, each having an associated denomination, using a currency bill evaluating device, the currency evaluating device comprising an input receptacle, a plurality of output receptacles, and a transport mechanism positioned to individually transport bills from the input receptacle to the output receptacles, the method comprising the acts of:
A method of operating a multi-output receptacle currency evaluator comprising an input receptacle, a plurality of output receptacles, and a transport mechanism positioned to individually transport bills from the input receptacle to the output receptacles, each bill having a denomination associated therewith, the method comprising the acts of:
A method of operating a multi-output receptacle currency evaluating device in a manner employing both one or more fixed output receptacles and one or more dynamic output receptacles wherein the currency evaluation device comprises an input receptacle configured to receive currency bills and a plurality of output receptacles, the currency bills each having an associated denomination, each of the one or more fixed output receptacles having a denomination assigned thereto and each of the dynamic output receptacles being capable of being dynamically assigned to a denomination, the method comprising the acts of:
A method of operating a multi-output receptacle currency evaluating device in a manner employing both one or more fixed output receptacles and one or more dynamic output receptacles wherein the currency evaluation device comprises an input receptacle configured to receive currency bills and a plurality of output receptacles, the currency bills each having an associated denomination, , each of the one or more fixed output receptacles having one or more denominations assigned thereto and each of the dynamic output receptacles being capable of being dynamically assigned to a denomination, the method comprising the acts of:
A method of assigning a denomination to an output receptacle of a multi-output receptacle currency denominating device, the method comprising an operator of the device setting an output receptacle to be either a dynamic pocket, subject to dynamic assignment of a bill denomination during normal operation of the device, or assigning a particular denomination to the output receptacle thereby making the output receptacle a fixed pocket such that during normal operation of the device only bills having the particular denomination may be transported into the output receptacle.
A method of assigning a denomination to an output receptacle of a multi-output receptacle currency denominating device, the method comprising an operator of the device setting an output receptacle to be either a dynamic pocket, subject to dynamic assignment of a bill denomination during normal operation of the device, or assigning one or more particular denominations to the output receptacle thereby making the output receptacle a fixed pocket such that during normal operation of the device only bills having the one or more particular denominations may be transported into the output receptacle.
A method of assigning denominations to output receptacles of a currency denominating device comprising a plurality of output receptacles, the method comprising setting each one of the output receptacles to be either a dynamic pocket, subject to dynamic assignment of a bill denomination during normal operation of the denominating device, or a fixed pocket, the setting of an output receptacle to be a fixed pocket comprising assigning one or more particular denominations to the output receptacle such that during normal operation only bills of the one or more particular denominations may be transported to the fixed output receptacle.
