Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing sheet material, in particular papers of value such as bank notes, checks, etc. The present invention starts out from the consideration that the validity of a successful check of sheet material is still present unchanged after an operating disturbance. The result of a check of sheet material which was performed successfully before a disturbance is therefore retained when a disturbance is present or after the disturbance has been eliminated.
