(57) The paper discharging apparatus comprises a discharge outlet (80); plural paper containers
(11 to 15) for accommodating papers of different kinds, separately; first plural paper
delivery paths (5 to 7, 21 to 25) for carrying a paper let out from each of the containers,
separately; second single common delivery path (40) for carrying papers carried through
each of the first plural delivery paths to the discharge outlet (80), and an abnormal
delivery detector (51 to 55) for inspecting whether each paper is being carried normally.
In particular, since at least one of detection elements (double-paper detector and
paper-kind detector) of the abnormal delivery detector is disposed separately for
each of first plural delivery paths (40), it is possible to implement each abnormal
delivery detection in parallel, thus markedly reducing the time required for inspecting
bills, securities, etc. on the basis of pattern recognition, in particular.
