Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling note throughput in real time through a currency processing machine. The invention involves the use of asynchronous components, such as independently driven feeder, transport, and final disposition components, to vary individual note velocity and horizontal distance between notes as they are being processed. The adjustments are made in real time based on detected note quality characteristics and event characteristics of the inputting source of the notes.
