COLOR SCANHEAD AND CURRENCY HANDLING SYSTEM EMPLOYING THE SAME

摘要

A document handling system (10) is configured for processing a variety of different documents. The system includes an input receptacle (36) for receiving a stack of documents, a standard sensor (70) for scanning at least one non-color characteristic of the documents in the stack, a color sensor (300) for scanning the color characteristics of the documents, and an output receptacle (117) for receiving the documents after they have been processed. A transport mechanism (123, 141) is included for transporting the documents, one at a time, from the input receptacle (36) past the sensors (70, 300) to the output receptacle (117). An operator interface is provided for displaying information to an operator and inputting information into the system. A processor is also included for processing the data gathered from the sensors (70, 300) to evaluate the documents.
