Abstract (en)

The invention is to control light emission of sensors to optimal light emitting amounts depending upon a kind of bills to be objects for detection and whereby to eliminate erroneous detection of the bills. Therefore, in the invention, the kinds of paper sheets as objects for detection are set in dip switches (10, 11 and 12). CPU (1) detects the set values of the DIP switches (10, 11 and 12) to detect the kinds of bills and reads out the corresponding light emitting amounts in sensor light emitting amount tables stored in ROM (2). The sensors (S1 SIMILAR S8) emit lights in light emitting amount set in a light emitting amount register (4) and whereby emits the light in the light emitting amount corresponding to the kinds of bills as objects for detection. <IMAGE>
