Abstract: A paper sheet bundling apparatus includes: a reel unit, in which a tape roll is set, configured to rotate the tape roll in a direction in which the tape is fed, and a direction in which the tape is wound; a tape transport unit, having a transport path provided between the reel unit and a tape bundling unit, configured to transport the tape, along the transport path, to supply the tape to the tape bundling unit when the tape bundling unit performs bundling, and to cause, when the tape bundling unit does not perform bundling, the tape to be in a stand-by state in which the tape is arranged continuously along the transport path; and specific operation execution means for executing, at a predetermined time, a specific operation of reducing tensile force in the tape arranged continuously along the transport path, when the tape bundling unit does not perform bundling.

Abstract: A banknote handling apparatus that obtains information of a banknote and outputs the obtained information at an appropriate time, is provided. A banknote handling apparatus 100 includes: a recognition unit 3 configured to obtain information of a banknote; a handling unit configured to perform handling on the basis of the information obtained by the recognition unit 3; a control unit 120 configured to output, to an outside, the information obtained by the recognition unit 3; and a condition selection unit configured to select one condition from among a plurality of predetermined conditions, as a condition for outputting the information. The control unit 120 controls a time at which the information is outputted, on the basis of the condition selected by the condition selection unit.
