ABSTRACT:
A document dispensing system for dispensing documents or bills from a source to a customer access receptacle or a reject bin depending upon certain characteristics of the bills or the manner in which they are fed. Sensors which are positioned along a dispensing path are sampled to produce first and second states therein in accordance with the presence or absence, respectively, of bills in the dispensing path. The states of the sensors are stored to provide short term and long term histories of the sensors along with a time in transport for each of the bills in the dispensing path. The short and long term histories and the time in transport are utilized for evaluating the status of each of the bills in the dispensing path with regard to predetermined criteria such as, for example, "double thickness", or "bill too long", and for producing a control signal which controls a diverter gate to divert the bills into the access receptacle or reject bin in accordance with the evaluation.
