Abstract
A voucher machine, particularly an automated teller machine, for the input and output of vouchers such as cash or checks, having a processing section (1) for transporting and processing vouchers to be input and output, is characterized in that the processing section (1) has two processing circuits (5, 6) for processing input vouchers which allows rapid output of vouchers identified as unsuitable for acceptance.
Claims20
A self-service voucher system for inputting and outputting vouchers, the self-service voucher system comprising:
- a first processing circuit that is a closed loop circuit, wherein the processing circuit comprises circuitry configured to
- (i) retrieve vouchers from a combined input and output drawer in which a customer interfaces with the vouchers,
- (ii) provide the received vouchers from the combined input and output drawer to a sensor system,
- (iii) forward the rejected ones of the received vouchers from the sensor system to a collecting drawer,
- (iv) return the rejected ones of the received vouchers from the collecting drawer back to the combined input and output drawer,
- (v) subsequent to returning the rejected ones of the received vouchers from the collecting drawer and prior to any customer interference with the rejected ones of the received vouchers returned to the combined input and output drawer, again retrieve the rejected ones of the received vouchers from the combined input and output drawer, and
- (vi) via the sensor system, reevaluate the rejected ones of the received vouchers retrieved again from the combined input and output drawer;
- and
- a second processing circuit configured to process vouchers that are not rejected by the sensor system.
