  • Method for handling cassettes for bank notes
    Patent number: 8172131
    Abstract: A method is provided for handling cassettes for bank notes, for automatic tellers and/or deposit devices. The method for handling cassettes for bank notes, for automatic tellers and/or deposit devices, includes the step of determining the filling level of the cassette or cassettes, comparing the determined filling level of each cassette with at least one threshold value lower than a maximum capacity of the particular cassette, and wherein, if the comparison yields an excess, the step of producing a signal indicating the exceeding of the threshold value, causing replacement of the cassette for which the signal indicating the exceeding of the threshold value was produced.

  • Use unit for bank note processing machines
    Patent number: 7325205
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for processing bank notes, in particular for singling, counting, sorting and testing the authenticity of bank notes or papers of value, which can be operated in a plurality of operating modes and wherein a display device is provided for selecting and displaying the operating modes. Such an apparatus and method are to be improved in such a way that the operator prompting can be learned easily and fast, without any sacrifice of flexibility. This is obtained by designing the display device to display icons having variable functions associated therewith that arc selectable by an input device.
