  • Sheet handling apparatus
    Patent number: 6557849
    Abstract: Sheet handling apparatus includes a transport system for transporting sheets; a sensing system for monitoring the passage of sheets; and a controller. The controller determines, during a transaction involving the transport of one or a sequence of sheets, the existence of a jam condition from the sensing system. If a jam condition exists, the controller operates the transport system to attempt to release the jammed sheet. If at least three attempts to release the jammed sheet fail, the controller stops the current transaction.
