A sheet accepting apparatus comprises an inlet () for receiving one or more sheets. A transport system () extracts sheets from the inlet. A first detector () 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 (). One or more further detectors monitor sheets fed by the transport system. At least one store () is provided for storing accepted sheets. A controller is responsive to the detectors for controlling the transport system.

Sheet accepting apparatus and recycler

Sheet handling apparatus includes a transport system for transporting sheets; a sensing system for monitoring the passage of sheets; and a controller. The controller determines, during a transaction involving the transport of one or a sequence of sheets, the existence of a jam condition from the sensing system. If a jam condition exists, the controller operates the transport system to attempt to release the jammed sheet. If at least three attempts to release the jammed sheet fail, the controller stops the current transaction.
