  • the presence of a security note in its coverage area is furthermore detected.
  • the detection can be done continuously or at preset intervals. If, in step S22, the second light barrier 242 detects the presence of at least one banknote in its coverage area, the method continues in step S24 and the trigger element 206 is stopped so that it does not deduct any further banknote of the banknote receipt.
  • step S22 still does not detect a presence of a security note in the detection area of the second light barrier 242
  • the mating element 222, the transport element 220 and the trigger element 206 are furthermore driven in such a way that they would transport a banknote contacting it in the dicing direction P2. This will continue until at least one note has been deducted from the note stack.
  • a period can be preset, after which the procedure is aborted and an error message is issued.
  • step S20 in addition, the distance between the shafts 226 and 230 to each other can be increased, so that it is easier for a bill of the value note stack to enter the singulation gap, since the applied restraining forces are reduced.
  • step S18 If, on the other hand, it has already been detected in step S18 that at least one note of value is arranged in the detection range of the second light barrier 242, then branching is made to step S24 and the withdrawal element 206 is stopped. Subsequently, it is determined in step S26 with the aid of the ultrasonic sensor 244, whether exactly one note was deducted or whether several overlapping notes of value were deducted in the form of a multiple deduction. If it should have been determined in step S26 that there is a multiple deduction, then in step S28 the transport element 220 is stopped and in step S30 the mating element 222 is driven such that it at least receives the value of the multiple deduction that it contacts against the singulation direction P2 transported. For this purpose, the mating element 222 is rotated in the direction of separation P3. The stopping of the transport element 220 and the driving of the mating element 222 can preferably also take place simultaneously in a common step.
  • step S32 it is determined with the aid of the ultrasonic sensor 244 continuously or at preset time intervals whether more than one note of value or exactly one note of value is still arranged in the detection range of the ultrasonic sensor 244.
  • the mating element 222 is driven so long against the separating direction of rotation P3 until the ultrasonic sensor 244 detects only the presence of exactly one note in its detection range, and until that note, which was transported back by the mating element 222 last with its seen in the direction of separation P3 leading edge in the separation gap 224 or upstream of the separating gap 224 is arranged.
  • step S33 the mating element 222 is stopped and the transport element 220 is again driven in step S34 so that it transports the remaining value of the multiple deduction farther in the direction of separation P2.
  • the transport element 220 is driven again in the separating direction of rotation P3.
  • step S34 the transport element 220 is driven further in the unidirectional rotation direction P3.
  • the transport element 220 is stopped in step S38 and the further transport element is driven so that it in the gap 254 arranged value note further transported in the separation direction P2.
  • the immediate stopping of the transport element 220 ensures that the value notes of the value-added stack arranged in the singulation position are retained by the transport element 220 in cooperation with the likewise counter-rotating element 222, so that the subsequent slipping of another value note is avoided. This ensures that between two successively transported along the transport path 218 notes of value a preset minimum distance is maintained and thus the banknotes can be handled reliably in the further handling in the device 10. Thus, the occurrence of so-called flags is prevented.
  • step S40 it is determined in step S40 with the aid of the first light barrier 212 whether at least one value note is still arranged in the singling position. If this is the case, then the method continues with step S14. If, on the other hand, it should be determined in step S40 that all banknotes of the banknote stack have already been transported individually along the transport path 218 in the dicing direction P2, the method is ended in step S42.
