- the authenticity of authenticity I try to raise more. That is, since red light and infrared light have different wavelengths, if transmitted light data or reflected light data from a plurality of lights having different wavelengths is used for determining the authenticity of a bill, it passes through a specific area between a genuine note and a counterfeit bill. Transmitted light and reflected light reflected from a specific region have properties that the transmittance and the reflectance are different.

- the image data acquired as pixel information also depends on the resolution of the line sensor. For example, if one pixel has a resolution of about 0.508 mm in the banknote length direction, the banknote transport direction When acquiring the length from the total number of pixels, it is possible to exclude at least a print length of about 1 to 2 mm as a fake.
- determines that it is a genuine banknote as mentioned above, it sets for every banknote processing apparatus by predetermined operation before an apparatus operate

- the second light emitting unit 81b is installed on both sides with the light receiving unit 81a in between so that light is irradiated from both sides at an incident angle of 45 degrees. This is because if there are scratches or folds on the banknote surface, and light is irradiated only from one side to the irregularities generated on these scratches or folds, the irregularities will inevitably become blocked by light. A spot may occur. For this reason, by irradiating light from both sides, it is possible to prevent shadows from being formed in the uneven portions, and to obtain image data with higher accuracy than irradiation from one side. Of course, about the 2nd light emission part 81b, the structure installed only in one side may be sufficient.

- the actual measurement value will be 103 pixels or more, so there is a high possibility that it will be determined as a fake even though it is a genuine banknote. .
- the reason why the actual measured value is 102 pixels is considered to be mainly based on the manufacturing error of the transport roller (it is considered to be larger than the theoretical diameter), and the diameter of the transport roller is a manufacturing error. If the value is increased, the amount of bills to be fed increases and the actual measurement value is greatly displaced.
- a new reference value setting process is performed on the basis of the above-described actual measurement value, the theoretical value of the printing length of the genuine banknote, and the reference value (allowable value) before the change process.

- the first authenticity determination process described above is executed (ST150).
- the first authenticity determination process when the banknote is determined to be genuine (ST151, Yes), the following second authenticity determination process, that is, the authenticity determination process based on the print length is performed. If the bill is determined to be fake in the authenticity determination process 1 (No in ST151), the bill is determined to be fake without executing the second authenticity determination process (ST154).
- the bill reading means 8 detects the length (measured data) of a predetermined print area of the bill (ST152). Next, it is determined whether or not the actual measurement data exists within the range of the new reference value that has been rewritten as described above (ST153). In this case, if the new measured value exists within the range of the new reference value (ST153, Yes), it is determined that the banknote is authentic (ST155).

- the print area is not necessarily dark. However, if the brightness is measured in the width W direction and an average value is taken, the start position and end position of the print area 310 can be accurately read by setting a predetermined threshold value.
- the reason why the total length L0 of the print area 310 is used is that correction by actual measurement is performed more accurately. For example, if the distance L1 from the start of the print area 310 to the identification area 300 is used, L1 is approximately 1/3 of L0, and the setting accuracy is also approximately 1/3. Similarly, the absolute value of the error in the conveyance direction in the identification area 300 also decreases according to the ratio of the length L2 to L0, so that the influence on the authenticity determination process is reduced.
- the set new reference range is 99 to 104. Therefore, when the measured value of L0 is 103 or 98, the former (103) is within the allowable range of the new standard, but the latter (98) is out of the allowable range of the new standard.
- 99 ( 0.98 ⁇ 102; rounded down). Therefore, when the measured value of L0 is 103 or 98, the former (103) is outside the allowable range of the new standard, but the latter (98) is within the allowable range of the new standard.
- L0 is known as a diameter error. Therefore, the original L0 standard allowable range is 98 to 102, and the new standard range is 99 to 104. In this case, it goes without saying that it is not necessary to change the allowable range of the width W.
