  • Publication number: 20050060956
    Abstract: A banknotes processing apparatus has a banknote discriminator for discriminating banknotes and a reversing portion for reversing the direction of banknotes to be conveyed according to a discrimination result of the banknote discriminator. The conveying direction of banknotes is properly arranged by the reversing portion and furthermore, according to the discrimination result of the banknote discriminator, banknotes for each designated note kind are stacked in a first stacker or a second stacker. Each banknotes in a predetermined number of sheets which are stacked in these stackers are conveyed to a tape winding portion in a batch. The conveyed banknotes, on the basis of the note kind discrimination result by the detector, are banded by the tape winding portion in a batch using tapes whereon attributes including the note kind of the concerned banknotes are color-printed by a printer.
