Sheet accepting apparatus and recycler

摘要

A sheet accepting apparatus comprises an inlet ( 210 ) for receiving one or more sheets. A transport system ( 217,350 ) extracts sheets from the inlet. A first detector ( 222 ) detects the passage of a foreign object with the transported sheet(s), the transport system being controllable to divert a detected foreign object to a foreign object collection position ( 215 ). One or more further detectors monitor sheets fed by the transport system. At least one store ( 205 ) is provided for storing accepted sheets. A controller is responsive to the detectors for controlling the transport system.
