(54) Paper sheet storage device and control method and control program for paper sheet storage device


(57) A paper sheet storage device comprises paper sheet transporting units (301-303) having a transport path for paper sheets and for transporting the paper sheets; a paper sheet feeder (250) for feeding a paper sheet onto the transport path; sensors (501 to 503), disposed on the transport path, for detecting passage of a paper sheet; a transport speed acquiring unit for acquiring the transport speed of a paper sheet based on detection by the sensors; and a controller (210) for controlling the paper sheet transport unit and the paper sheet feeder. In the event that the acquired transport speed of a paper sheet is slower than a prescribed speed, the controller causes the paper sheet feeder to halt the feeding of paper sheets, and operates in reverse a portion of the paper sheet transport unit that is situated closer to the paper sheet feeder than the slow moving paper sheet.
