Abstract

The invention relates to a method for adjusting a bank note processing machine by which threshold values of sensors are defined for recognizing the condition of bank notes. The invention starts out from a method for adjusting a bank note processing machine by which threshold values of sensors are defined for recognizing the condition of bank notes, whereby a number of bank notes is processed by means of the bank note processing machine and data of at least one sensor are stored, the condition of the bank notes is recognized by means of the stored data and at least one threshold value, a relation between the recognized condition of the bank notes and the at least one threshold value is determined and displayed, at least one threshold value is changed on the basis of the displayed relation, and at least the condition and the relation are determined again and the relation is displayed again.

Claims (9)

1. A method for adjusting a bank note processing machine by which threshold values of sensors are defined for recognizing the degradation of bank notes, comprising the steps:

a) processing a number of bank notes by means of the bank note processing machine, whereby data of at least one sensor are stored,

b) recognizing the degradation of the bank notes by means of the stored data and at least one threshold value,

c) determining and displaying a relation between the recognized degradation of the bank notes and the at least one threshold value,

d) changing at least one threshold value on the basis of the displayed relation and at least repeating the steps b) to c), and

e) sorting fit and unfit banknotes based on the at least one change threshold value.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the relation between the recognized degradation of the bank notes and the at least one threshold value characterizes a condition property.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the relation between the recognized degradation of the bank notes and the at least one threshold value characterizes all condition properties considered during recognition of the degradation.

4. A bank note processing machine for carrying out the method according to claim 1 .
