  • a device for optically recognizing documents is known from US Pat. No. 4,319,137, which recognizes a printed sheet on the basis of printed features.
  • An elongated source of white light illuminates a narrow strip that extends across the sheet.
  • the light scattered from the sheet in the strip or shining through the sheet there is captured simultaneously by means of three photosensors arranged in a row.
  • Each photosensor only registers light from a narrow spectral range, e.g. B. in the color red, green or blue.
  • the photosensors transmit three electrical signals corresponding to the three colors to an evaluation device.

As soon as the document 1 has been scanned in the predetermined areas 8, the evaluation unit 19 can compare these groups of numbers with predetermined sample number groups, which are stored in the evaluation unit 19, and can decide whether to accept or return the document 1.
  • Optical means 21 can advantageously be arranged in the beam path in front of the photosensors 4 so that the light 7 scattered on document 1 is largely independent of the optical properties collect the photosensors 4 and feed them.
