The detection means 46 detects that the transport state of the banknote is normal. In this case, the control unit 70 determines that the banknote has been correctly inserted into the banknote receiving unit 22, and the operation display units 50 and 52 display the screen as shown in FIG. 5B.

On the other hand, when the operator inserts the bill from the outside of the housing into the bill receiving portion 22 in a slanted state via the bill receiving inlet 22a, the detection is detected by the receipt detection sensor 22b or the like provided in the bill receiving portion 22. Based on the result, the detection means 46 detects that the banknote is skewed as the received state of the banknote. In this case, the control unit 70 determines that the banknote has been inserted into the banknote receiving unit 22 in a skewed state, and instructs the operator to correct the skewed state of the banknote as guidance information for training the operator. Information to that effect is output from the control unit 70. The information output from the control unit 70 is displayed as characters or images on the operation display units 50 and 52 on the screen as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C. Specifically, when the detection means 46 detects in which direction the banknote is skewed, the banknote changes from the skewed state to the normal state as shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c). The direction to correct is displayed by an arrow on the operation display units 50 and 52. On the other hand, when the detection means 46 does not detect whether the bill is skewed up or down, the operation display units 50 and 52 display the screen shown in FIG. 6A. ..

Further, when the number of banknotes inserted into the banknote receiving unit 22 from the outside of the housing via the banknote receiving port 22a is too large, the operator detects it by the acceptance detection sensor 22b or the like provided in the banknote receiving unit 22. Based on the result, the detection means 46 detects that too many banknotes have been accepted by the banknote receiving unit 22. In this case, the control unit 70 determines that too many banknotes have been accepted by the banknote receiving unit 22, and the operation is to reduce the number of banknotes inserted into the banknote receiving unit 22 as guidance information for training the operator.

Further, when the intervals between the bills inserted into the bill receiving portion 22 from the outside of the housing via the bill receiving inlet 22a are different, the operator detects the bills by the receipt detection sensor 22b provided in the bill receiving portion 22 or the like. Based on the result, the detection means 46 detects that the intervals between the banknotes received by the banknote receiving unit 22 are uneven. In this case, the control unit 70 determines that the intervals between the banknotes received by the banknote receiving unit 22 are uneven, and aligns the tips of the banknotes to be inserted into the banknote receiving unit 22 as guidance information for training the operator. Information to the effect that the operator is instructed to do so is output from the control unit 70. The information output from the control unit 70 is displayed as characters or images on the operation display units 50 and 52 on the screen as shown in FIG. 6 (e).

Further, when the interval between the bills inserted into the bill receiving portion 22 from the outside of the housing via the bill receiving inlet 22a is too short or too long, the receipt provided in the bill receiving portion 22 is provided. Based on the detection result by the detection sensor 22b or the like, the detection means 46 detects that the difference between the interval between the banknotes received by the banknote receiving unit 22 and the preset reference value is larger than a predetermined value. In this case, the control unit 70 determines that the interval between the banknotes received by the banknote receiving unit 22 is too short or too long, and the banknotes to be inserted into the banknote receiving unit 22 as guidance information for training the operator. Information to the effect that the operator is instructed to set the interval to an appropriate size is output from the control unit 70. Specifically, when the interval between the banknotes received by the banknote receiving unit 22 is too short, the operator is instructed not to push the banknotes too much into the banknote receiving unit 22 as shown in FIG. 6 (f). Command is displayed on the operation display units 50 and 52 by characters and images. On the other hand, when the interval between the bills received by the bill receiving unit 22 is too long, the bill counting time can be shortened by pushing the bills into the bill receiving unit 22 as shown in FIG. 6 (g).

Further, the banknote receiving unit 22 is provided with a bill holding member 23h that presses a plurality of banknotes received in a state of being overlapped with the banknote receiving unit 22 via the banknote receiving port 22a toward the receiving belt 23a. Details of the configuration of such a bill holding member 23h will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the bill receiving portion 22 is provided with a receiving member 23i at a fixed position, and one end of the spring 23j is connected to the receiving member 23i. Further, the other end of the spring 23j is connected to the bill holding member 23h, and the bill holding member 23h is pressed toward the intake belt 23a by the repulsive force from the compressed state of the spring 23j. Therefore, a plurality of banknotes received in a state of being overlapped with the banknote receiving unit 22 via the banknote receiving port 22a are pressed toward the intake belt 23a by the bill holding member 23h.

Further, the bill holding member 23h is provided with a pushing member 23k that pushes one end (specifically, the right end in FIGS. 7 and 8) of the bill holding member 23h in a direction away from the intake belt 23a. ing. Here, the pushing member 23k can swing around the shaft 23p. When the bill is pressed by the bill holding member 23h toward the intake belt 23a, the bill holding member 23h is pressed by the spring 23j and the pushing member 23k rotates clockwise around the shaft 23p. , Push the bill holding member 23h. At this time, the pushing member 23k comes to be located at the position shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the bill is not pressed toward the intake belt 23a by the bill holding member 23h, the pushing member 23k is rotated in the counterclockwise direction about the shaft 23p. At this time, one end (specifically, the right end in FIGS. 7 and 8) of the bill holding member 23h is pushed by the pushing member 23k in a direction away from the intake belt 23a against the pushing pressure of the spring 23j.
