Abstract

A paper sheet processing apparatus includes a transport path for transporting paper sheets one at a time, a line sensor unit that includes a light source that irradiates the paper sheet being transported through the transport path with light and a line sensor that receives light reflected from the paper sheet and processes a signal representing the received light to generate pixel data, and a control unit that performs an image thinning process on the pixel data and almost simultaneously generates a first image data and a second image data having different resolutions.
