ABSTRACT:
In this invention, CPUs previously calculate hash function values based on programs during the startup time (initialization time) at the power-ON time of equipment and a management device. Therefore, when a hash function value is re-calculated, the hash function value is re-calculated based on the date and hour and 160-bit hash function value. As a result, in a sheet inspecting apparatus, the (total) number of cut-apart sheets can be prevented from being falsified by preventing falsification of the programs.
