A banknote separation device includes a banknote separation wheel set and a reverse wheel set. The reverse wheel set includes a reverse wheel component, a reverse wheel set rotation shaft, a first fixing frame and a second fixing frame. Two ends of the reverse wheel set rotation shaft are fixed on two mounting side plates respectively, the first fixing frame and the second fixing frame are respectively fixedly connected at two ends of reverse wheel component. The first fixing frame is provided with two lash adjusting threaded holes and a first lash adjusting screw, the second fixing frame is provided with a second lash adjusting threaded hole and a second lash adjusting screw cooperating therewith, and radial clearances between two ends of the reverse wheel component and the banknote separation wheel set are adjusted respectively by the two lash adjusting screws.

The control apparatus includes an acquisition unit, an air volume setting unit, and an air blow control unit. The air volume setting unit sets a volume of air to be blown toward the plurality of sheets from a separation blower based on the information on the processing job acquired by the acquisition unit or by manipulation of a user. When the air volume is changed from a first air volume to a second air volume different from the first air volume by the user, the air volume setting unit maintains the air volume as the second air volume, irrespective of the information on the processing job acquired by the acquisition unit, until the air volume is changed from the second air volume to an air volume different from the second air volume by the user.

A feeding device includes a supply unit that supplies air between plural stacked media and that floats the media, a feeding unit that makes the media floated by the supply unit stick thereto and that feeds the media, a separating unit that supplies the air obliquely downward to a front surface side of a second medium positioned immediately below a first medium stuck to the feeding unit from a downstream side to an upstream side in a medium feeding direction and that separates the second medium from the first medium, and a blasting unit that blasts the air obliquely downward to the front surface side of the second medium from the downstream side to the upstream side in the medium feeding direction and that has a blasting angle of the air with respect to the medium feeding direction larger than a supply angle of the air of the separating unit.
