A detection section that detects a value used for determining whether or not a jam of a paper sheet has occurred includes a sound detection unit that detects a sound and an auxiliary detection unit that detects a value different from the magnitude of a sound in the case where a jam of the paper sheet has occurred, and, in the case where the sound detection unit has detected a sound of a magnitude equal to or greater than a first threshold value, a control unit controls determines whether or not a jam of the paper sheet has occurred with reference to a detection result of the auxiliary detection unit, and controls a transport unit on the basis of a result of the determination.
