To provide a sheet processing system which can properly perform sorting processing of a plurality of kinds of sheets, while making each of a plurality of sheet processing apparatuses effectively operate.

A sheet processing system of an embodiment has a plurality of sheet processing apparatuses, a sorting apparatus, a storage unit, an information acquisition unit, and a controller. The plurality of sheet processing apparatuses each has a plurality of stackers for stacking sheets. The plurality of sheet processing apparatuses each sorts and stacks the sheets in the plurality of stackers. The plurality of sheet processing apparatuses each outputs information of a stacking status of the sheets in each of the plurality of stackers. The sorting apparatus sorts and feeds a sheet group formed of a plurality of the sheets to any of the plurality of sheet processing apparatuses. The storage unit stores the information of the stacking status of the sheets in each of the plurality of sheet processing apparatuses. The controller controls sorting of the sheet group by the sorting apparatus, based on the information of the sheet group which the information acquisition unit acquires, and the information of the stacking status of the sheets in the storage unit.

A stacking and dispensing module (2) for use in an automatic teller machine (4), the module is configured to be arranged in connection with a banknote storage unit (6) comprising a banknote tray (8) on which banknotes (10) are stacked, the stacking and dispensing module (2) is configured to be in a banknote stacking mode, when banknotes are stacked in said storage unit (6), and in a banknote dispensing mode, when banknotes are dispensed from said storage unit (6). A stacking wheel member (12) is active both during the banknote stacking mode and during the banknote dispensing mode, and that the rotation of the stacking wheel member (12) is configured to be controlled by a first direct current (DC) motor (20), and the rotation of a dispensing wheel member (16) is configured to be controlled by a second DC motor (22). The module further comprises:—a current measuring unit (24) configured to measure the currents applied to drive said first and second DC motors (20, 22) and to generate current signals (26, 28) in dependence thereto,—a control unit (30) configured to receive said current signals (26, 28), wherein the control unit (30) is configured to evaluate said current signals (26, 28) and to determine control signals (32, 34) for various functions of said module in dependence of said evaluation, and to apply said control signals for controlling said functions.

A money handling apparatus (for example, a banknote handling apparatus) includes a destination selector configured to select a storage unit where at least one of a counterfeit money and suspect money among the money transported by the transporting unit is to be transported, from the plurality of storage units (for example, each banknote storage unit, each storage/feeding unit, collecting unit, banknote ejecting unit, and the like) and a controller configured to control the transporting unit to transport at least one of the counterfeit money and suspect money to the storage unit selected by the destination selector among the plurality of storage units.

A feeder device for feeding a stack of value documents to a singler device, and is configured to withdraw individual value documents from the stack. The feeder device includes a stop element having front and back sides; two lateral guide elements provided at the front side of the stop element and configured to guide the stack at two lateral sides of the stack towards the singler device; two support elements, on which the lateral guide elements are mounted; and two or more bearing elements by which the support elements are movably mounted on the stop element to allow the respective positions of the lateral guide elements and/or the distance of the lateral guide elements relative to each other to be changed. The invention further relates to an according method, a singler device, a singler module and a system for processing value documents.

A sheet processing system, comprising a storage device that stores one or more sheets, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to count a number of sheets stored in the storage device; determine whether the storage device is full based on a storage state of the storage device; in a case that the storage device is determined to be full, decide a set value relating to an upper limit number of the sheets storable in the storage device by using a plurality of count results from the control circuitry; and set the set value for the storage device.
