Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a paper sheet handling machine and method that can identify characters on a paper sheet and determine the serial number of the sheet based on the characters. This allows for efficient handling of paper sheets and easy identification of any missing or incorrect serial numbers. Additionally, the invention can display the first serial number with all characters identified and the second serial number with a missing digit. The technical effect of the invention is improved efficiency and accuracy in managing paper sheets.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, such a manual input operation for each error letter tends to lay a heavy burden on the user.
Namely, in such conventional paper sheet handling machines as described above, the manual input operation for each error character tends to lay the heavy burden on the user, and there is a risk that some serial number may be registered, as the unclear information, at the database.
