A currency counter for counting currency notes withdrawn from a supply and advancing the notes one by one along a path past a density detector and a magnetic material detector to a stacker at a delivery location upon energization of a common drive motor in which an amplifier responsive to the density detector is automatically calibrated each time the counter starts and in which density and motor current signals are combined for doubles detection. The motor speed is adjusted for document length to provide a predetermined number of counts per minute. An adaptive counterfeit check is made. The motor is deenergized at the end of a batch count and momentarily reenergized to ensure that the last note of the batch is stacked.

Control system for currenty counter

A sheet feeder in which a cam member shiftable transversely of the sheet feed path provides concomitant adjustment relative to the feed rollers of stripper shoes carried by resilient arms integral with stripper supports mounted for movement as a unit relative to the feed rollers and in which elements on the supports adjust the positions of the resilient arms for individual adjsutment of the shoes. A rib on a curved guide adjacent to the feed rollers prevents snapping of sheets against the feed rollers as they are picked up by an accelerating nip formed adjacent to the end of the guide by a pair of acceleration rollers, one of which is formed with a groove for accommodating the nip.
