Abstract
A sheets handling apparatus efficiently handles inserted sheets. The sheets handling apparatus includes an inserting unit into which the sheets are inserted and a discriminating unit for discriminating among the sheets inserted into the inserting unit. The sheets handling apparatus further includes a mechanism for returning, to the inserting unit, the sheets (which have, e.g., no thread and are an inappropriate size exhibiting predetermined characteristics among the sheets inserted in the inserting unit without being supplied to the discriminating unit. According to this sheets handling apparatus, no time is consumed when the discriminating unit discriminates among the sheets to easily recognize inappropriateness thereof. Such sheets are not carried to the discriminating unit, and hence a probability of causing a jam decreases.
