(3) Shift error: The detector corresponding to the error code became dark at a timing outside the specified range during bill counting. (4) Additional jam: During the banknote counting process, the banknote that was determined to be two by the detector immediately before the corresponding detector was determined to be one by the relevant detector. (5) Separation jam: During the bill counting process, the banknote that had been determined to be one by the detector immediately before the corresponding detector was determined to be two by the corresponding detector. In the conventional error processing, each of the above-mentioned errors is determined, and the operation of the apparatus is interrupted for each error to wait for a clerk. [0005] As described above, conventionally, when all errors occur, the operation of the apparatus is interrupted to wait for a clerk, so that the number of times the apparatus is stopped increases and the processing speed is increased. There is a problem of hindering the operation and a problem of lowering the operation efficiency of the apparatus. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a banknote transaction apparatus capable of achieving quick processing and improving the operation efficiency of the apparatus.
