1. A non-transitory recording medium having a paper sheet handling program recorded thereon, the paper sheet handling program causing a processor for a paper sheet handling apparatus to perform a process, the paper sheet handling apparatus including
a displacement amount detector that includes a pressing part intended to press a paper sheet against a transporting face of a paper sheet transporting path and having an initial position at which the pressing part is not in contact with the transporting face of the paper sheet transporting path, the displacement amount detector detecting a displacement amount of displacement of the pressing part from the initial position in a direction perpendicular to the transporting face, the pressing part being displaced according to a thickness of a paper sheet passing between the transporting face and the pressing part,
a reference displacement amount storage that stores a reference displacement amount,
a paper sheet thickness storage that stores a thickness of one paper sheet, and
a tape thickness threshold storage that stores a tape thickness threshold, the process comprising:
on the basis of the displacement amount detected by the displacement amount detector, the reference displacement amount stored by the reference displacement amount storage, the thickness of one paper sheet stored by the paper sheet thickness storage, and the tape thickness threshold stored by the tape thickness threshold storage, determining which of one paper sheet, a paper sheet having tape applied thereto, two paper sheets laid on top of one another, or another paper sheet is passing between the transporting face and the pressing part;
when a determination that one paper sheet is passing between the transporting face and the pressing part is made, updating a value of the reference displacement amount stored by the reference displacement amount storage to a displacement amount detected by the displacement amount detector at a time of the determination; and
when a determination that two paper sheets laid on top of one another are passing between the transporting face and the pressing part is made, calculating a thickness of one paper sheet by subtracting the reference displacement amount stored by the reference displacement amount storage from a displacement amount detected by the displacement amount detector at a time of the determination, updating the thickness of one paper sheet stored by the paper sheet thickness storage to the calculated thickness of one paper sheet, calculating a tape thickness threshold on the basis of the calculated thickness of one paper sheet, and updating the tape thickness threshold stored by the tape thickness threshold storage to the calculated tape thickness threshold.
