Problem The present invention has as an object to reduce the occurrence of jamming of sheet within a sheet handling device. Solution The sheet handling device comprises an input/output section having the function of stacking sheets and configured to accept and dispense sheets from the sheet handling device; a storing unit configured to store sheets; a transport path allocated between the storing unit and the input/output section and configured to transport sheets; a determination section allocated on the transport path and configured to determine transport condition of sheets being transported; and a controller that, in the event that the determination section determines improper transport condition of a sheet being transported from the storing unit to the input/output section by the transport path, controls the transport path so as to store the sheet in the storing unit.

1. A sheet handling device comprising: input and output section that stacks sheets and accepts and dispenses sheets from the sheet handling device;a storing unit that stores sheets;a repository unit that reposits sheets;a transport path that transports sheets,wherein the transport path is allocated between the storing unit, the repository unit, and the input and output section;a determination section allocated on the transport path and that determines transport conditions of sheets being transported; anda controller,wherein when the determination section determines an improper transport condition of a sheet being transported from the repository unit to the input/output section by the transport path, the controller controls the transport path so as to store the sheet in the storing unit,wherein the transport path includes: a first transport path allocated between the repository unit, the storing unit, and the determination section; anda second transport path allocated between the determination section and the input and output section, andwherein when the determination section has determined an improper transport condition of a sheet of interest that was transported from the repository unit to the determination section by the first transport path, the sheet of interest, having the improper transport condition, is queued on the second transport path,wherein a temporary storing unit is allocated on the second transport path and temporarily reposits sheets other than the sheet of interest, the sheet of interest being queued on the second transport path without being reposited in the temporary storing unit,wherein after the sheet of interest has been queued on the second transport path, other sheets on the first transport path are transported to the repository unit, andwherein after the other sheets on the first transport path have been transported to the repository unit, the sheet of interest is transported to the storing unit. 2. The sheet handling device according to claim 1, wherein after transporting the sheet of interest onto the second transport path by the first transport path and the second transport path, the controller transports other sheets on the first transport path to the repository unit, and transports the sheet of interest to the storing unit. 3. The sheet handling device according to claim 1, further comprising: a temporary repository unit allocated on the second transport path that temporarily reposits sheets,wherein the determination section, with regard to a sheet determined to have the improper transport condition, further makes a determination as to whether transport thereof to the temporary repository unit is possible, andwherein based on the determination as to whether transport is possible, the controller transports the sheet to the temporary repository unit by the second transport path. 4. The sheet handling device according to claim 1, further comprising: a sensing section that senses whether a sheet is present straddling the first transport path and the second transport path,wherein during transport of the sheet of interest on the second transport path, the controller controls the first transport path and the second transport path based on the sensed results by the sensing section. 5. The sheet handling device according to claim 1, wherein improper transport conditions include transport of a sheet in a skewed and shifted condition on a transport path. 6. An automatic teller machine comprising the sheet handling device according to claim 1. 7. A sheet handling method comprising: providing a sheet handling device that includes an input and output section that stacks sheets, and accepts and dispenses sheets, a storing unit that stores sheets, a repository unit that reposits sheets, a transport path that transports sheets, and a determination section allocated on the transport path;transporting sheets from the repository unit to the input and output section by the transport path, wherein the transport path is allocated between the storing unit, the repository unit, and the input and output section;determining, by the determination section, transport conditions of the transported sheets; andtransporting the sheets to the storing unit based on a result of determining improper transport conditions,wherein the transport path includes a first transport path allocated between the repository unit, the storing unit, and the determination section, and a second transport path allocated between the determination section and the input and output section; andwhen the determination section has determined improper transport condition of a sheet of interest that was transported from the repository unit to the determination section by the first transport path, queuing the sheet of interest having the improper transport condition on the second transport path,wherein a temporary storing unit is allocated on the second transport path and temporarily reposits sheets other than the sheet of interest, the sheet of interest being queued on the second transport path without being reposited in the temporary storing unit;after the sheet of interest has been queued on the second transport path, transporting other sheets on the first transport path to the repository unit, andafter the other sheets on the first transport path have been transported to the repository unit, transporting the sheet of interest to the storing unit. 8. A computer program product comprising: a sheet handling computer program for transporting sheets in a sheet handling device, wherein the sheet handling device includes an input and output section that stacks sheets, and accepts and dispenses sheets, a storing unit that stores sheets, a repository unit that reposits sheets, a transport path that transports sheets, and a determination section allocated on the transport path;a computer readable storage medium having the sheet handling computer program tangibly embodied thereon, wherein the sheet handling computer program causes a computer to execute steps of:transporting sheets from the repository unit to the input and output section by the transport path, wherein the transport path is allocated between the storing unit, the repository unit, and the input and output section;determining, by the determination section, transport conditions of the transported sheets; andtransporting the sheets to the storing unit based a result of determining improper transport conditions,wherein the transport path includes a first transport path allocated between the repository unit, the storing unit, and the determination section, and a second transport path allocated between the determination section and the input and output section; andwhen the determination section has determined improper transport condition of a sheet of interest that was transported from the repository unit to the determination section by the first transport path, queuing the sheet of interest, having the improper transport condition, on the second transport path,wherein a temporary storing unit is allocated on the second transport path and temporarily reposits sheets other than the sheet of interest, the sheet of interest being queued on the second transport path without being reposited in the temporary storing unit;after the sheet of interest has been queued on the second transport path, transporting other sheets on the first transport path to the repository unit; andafter the other sheets on the first transport path have been transported to the repository unit, transporting the sheet of interest to the storing unit.
