A manufacturing method includes feeding a master roll 8a from a master roll table 10 to a belt table 14, and cutting the master roll 8a between the master roll table 10 and the belt table 14. In the step of feeding the master roll 8a from the master roll table 10 to the belt table 14, the master roll 8a is fed by holding a front part of the master roll 8a by a first hand 30 and a rear part of the master roll 8a by a second hand 40, and the front part of the master roll 8a is continuously held by the first hand 30 from start to end of the feeding.

A manufacturing method for manufacturing a sheet-like belt 8b from a master roll first and then forming a cylindrical belt by winding the sheet-like belt 8b around a molding drum includes measuring a length of the sheet-like belt 8b, and making a pass of fail determination as to the length of the sheet-like belt 8b. The sheet-like belt 8b is wound around a winding cylinder 50 and transported to a place for lamination to the molding drum only when a pass determination is made in the step of making a pass or fail determination as to the length of the sheet-like belt 8b.

A manufacturing method includes: cutting out a sheet-like belt 8b by cutting a master roll 8a between a master roll table 10 and a belt table 14; moving the belt table 14 carrying the cut-out sheet-like belt 8b to a winding position of the sheet-like belt 8b; and winding the sheet-like belt 8b around a winding cylinder 50 at the winding position. The master roll 8a is fixed onto the belt table 14 by attraction when the master roll 8a is cut between the master roll table 10 and the belt table 14 and the belt table 14 is moved to the winding position of the sheet-like belt 8b while keeping the cut-out sheet-like belt 8b fixed onto the belt table 14 by attraction.

A sheet folding apparatus for folding a sheet is provided with a hold member that holds a transported sheet in a substantially cylindrical shape, a shift member that presses the outer circumferential surface of the sheet of the substantially cylindrical shape held by the hold member to make a substantially flat shape, and a discharge section that further presses the sheet made the substantially flat shape by the shift member, while discharging in a direction crossing a transport direction. By this means, it is possible to provide a relatively compact sheet folding apparatus.

A double-tape banknote temporary storage device is provided, which includes a banknote temporary storage reel, a pair of tape withdrawing reel assemblies, a pair of tapes, a pair of tape pressing wheels. The double-tape banknote temporary storage device further includes a planetary gear decelerating motor and a synchronous gear transmission system, and a driving gear is provided on an output shaft of the planetary gear decelerating motor. The synchronous gear transmission system includes a first gear, a first transmission gear set engaged with the driving gear and transmitting power to both of the banknote temporary storage reel and the first tape withdrawing reel assembly simultaneously, and a second transmission gear set connecting the first gear and the second tape withdrawing reel assembly and transmitting power to the second tape withdrawing reel assembly.

A post-processing apparatus includes a storing unit that stores plural recording media for performing post-processing, a pushing member that pushes trailing ends of the recording media stored in the storing unit toward an ejection port, and a controller that controls the pushing member to stop at a position at which the pushing member supports a recording medium that is transported.

A sheet guide includes an endless belt, and a guide supported by a plurality of places of the endless belt, the guide configured to hold a downstream end of the sheet in a conveyance direction of the sheet, wherein the endless belt is configured to rotate to move the sheet held by the guide in the conveyance direction.

A banknote rolling-out control method and apparatus and a banknote storage device are provided for solving the technical problem of device failure caused by the case where a banknote can easily be stuck in the device after being stored on a reel for a long time. The method includes: storing a rolling-in time at which a banknote enters a device and a corresponding banknote sequence number; obtaining a rolling-out time of a current banknote which needs to be rolled out; obtaining the rolling-in time corresponding to the banknote sequence number of the current banknote; and determining whether the rolling-in time and the rolling-out time satisfies a preset time condition, and rolling out the current banknote at a rolling-out speed lower than a preset speed in a case of a positive determination.

A sheet handling apparatus (for example, banknote handling apparatus 20) includes a storing and feeding unit (25) in which a sheet is stored on a rotary member (for example, drum (25a)) by winding the sheet on the rotary member and the sheet wound on the rotary member can be fed from the rotary member, a transport unit (23) that transports the sheet fed from the storing and feeding unit (25), a curl correction mechanism (70) that corrects a curl of the sheet transported by the transport unit (23), and a stacking unit (for example, banknote collection bag (34)) in which the sheet that has passed through the curl correction mechanism (70) is stacked.
