One object is to detect a sheet with high precision by using ultrasonic waves. A sheet processing apparatus detects a paper sheet based on a change in ultrasonic waves. The sheet processing apparatus includes a support member that supports a sheet. A through part is formed in the support member. The sheet processing apparatus further includes a transmitting unit that transmits ultrasonic waves from a transmitting surface; a reflecting unit that reflects the ultrasonic waves, which were transmitted from the transmitting unit and passed through the through part; and a receiving unit that receives on a receiving surface the ultrasonic waves reflected by the reflecting unit. The receiving surface faces downward, and the transmitting surface is parallel to a vertical direction or faces downward, or the transmitting surface faces downward, and the receiving surface is parallel to a vertical direction or faces downward.

Sheet processing apparatus

A paper sheet insertion apparatus (for example, depositing and dispensing unit) includes an imaging unit (for example, camera) that takes an image of an interior of the paper sheet handling machineto obtain image data and a control unit (for example, depositing and dispensing unit control unit) that is provided inside the machine body of the paper sheet handling machineand outputs information on foreign material other than the paper sheet and information on a constituent member of the paper sheet insertion apparatus, based on the image data obtained by the imaging unit.

Paper sheet insertion apparatus

A paper sheet insertion apparatus (for example, depositing and dispensing unit) includes: an imaging unit (for example, camera) configured to take an image of a side edge portion, on a placement memberside, of paper sheets placed in a placement unit, or a side edge portion, on a side opposite to the placement memberside, of the paper sheets placed in the placement unit, to obtain image data; and a control unit (for example, depositing and dispensing unit control unit) configured to determine, based on the image data obtained by the imaging unit, whether or not a plurality of the paper sheets placed in the placement unit are bundled by a bundling member.
