4. Operation
4.1 Counting Operation
- Turn on the equipment by pressing the power switch.
- The unit will immediately proceed with a self-check routine to confirm
the proper functioning of its main components. If any error message is
reported, go to the Error Messages section of this guide to identify its
cause.
- Select the required Currency (for multi-currency models) as well as the
operating mode (MIX-SORT-COUNT-LOCAL)
- Set up other optional functions such as SPEED, BATCH, etc.
- Place the bills in an orderly manner on the hopper tray and the equipment
will start counting automatically.
NOTE: If the unit is in MANUAL mode, press START to begin counting.
4.2 Miscounting errors
If there are continuous counting errors proceed to:
- Make sure the bills are positioned neatly on the hopper tray.
- Verify that the counting sensors are not affected by particles of dust or
some other nature.
- Verify the bill thickness adjustment mechanism (feeding gap) in case it
needs to be re-adjusted for improving the unit performance.
- If MG, UV, or DD error messages are reported frequently, proceed to
verify the sensitivity of the function and consider reducing them in case
the current sensitivity value is too high.

19
4. Operation (continued)
4.3 Thickness Knob Adjustment (Feeding Gap)
Proceed with this calibration when the bills are not fed smoothly through the
machine or several error messages are occurring too often like DOUBLE
NOTES, CHAIN, or miscounting errors.
Other reasons that might require readjusting the feeding gap are:
- The counting of new or mint condition bills
- The counting of poor or bad fitness condition bills
- Polymer bills and Paper-made bills counted together
Having the correct feeding gap will ensure a smooth counting as well as a
trouble-free unit’s operation.
Trial and error attempts are recommended before you make the final
adjustment.
NOTE: For new bills, it is recommended to leave the gap narrow. For used
and worn bills, it is recommended to widen the gap.
a. For new (thinner) bills, as well as Polymer notes, adjust toward "-" to
reduce the gap.
b. For used (thicker) bills, adjust toward "+" to increase the gap.
c. Small adjustments towards the "+" direction work best.
