Abstract
A novel apparatus for handling sheets of paper is disclosed, in which a plurality of transaction medium processing sections are provided as corresponding to a plurality of transaction ports operated by the customer or the teller. When transactions are proceeeding simultaneously at the transaction ports, the operations of the transaction medium processing sections are controlled at the same time. Also, the operations of a plurality of carriers disposed between the transaction ports and a counter and between the counter and an accommodation section for transporting sheets of paper are controlled at a time independently of each other, thereby saving the transaction time. Simultaneous transactions conducted at the transaction ports in this configuration makes it possible to shorten the time of processing each transaction.
