Abstract
A stage on to which a bill bundle is carried is moved to a lower end position in order to feed the bills through a feeding mechanism. The bill bundle is pressed by a pusher so that a bill located at the bottom touches a pick roller with appropriate pressure. With reference to a position being detected by a sensor, the distance over which the stage is moved below that position is determined. The distance is subtracted from the maximum distance over which the stage is movable downward from the reference position, thus determining the height of the bundle of papers when it is pressed.
