Abstract
A relay transport apparatus () includes a first transport path, a plurality of first transport sections (), a plurality of driving sections (), and a drive transmission section (). The first transport path is formed so as to couple a carry-in port and a carry-out port. The first transport path includes a plurality of segments (Sand S). The plurality of first transport sections () are disposed along the first transport path. The first transport sections are configured to transport the paper sheet carried in from the carry-in port to the carry-out port along the first transport path. The plurality of driving sections () correspond to the respective segments. The plurality of driving sections () are configured to drive the first transport section in the corresponding segment. The drive transmission section () drives the plurality of first transport sections based on an output from a predetermined one driving section () when only the predetermined one driving section operates among the plurality of driving sections. The drive transmission section () drives the plurality of first transport sections based on outputs from the corresponding driving sections when the plurality of driving sections operate.
