PART THREE
3. COLLECT/CAPTURE DATA OF BANKNOTES AND UPGRADE THE MACHINE
1) How to tak sampl data of Banknot s for Softwar Improv m nt
W ile MIB-1 Currency discriminator mac ine as ig -recognition rate for US banknotes, if certain circulated
banknote (denomination / issue) is not being counted by MIB-1 for some reasons, suc as bit worn out, please take
sample data of t at banknote and send to AMROTEC for investigation and possible software improvement.
However, it s ould be noted t at currency discriminating mac ine as MIB-1 is not capable of reading UNFIT
banknotes, suc as overly soiled or worn out, tape on t e banknote or glued, overly creased or overly folded and so
on. Same applies to if any suspect banknotes not read by MIB-1 (Except t ose ig ly sop isticated Super Counterfeit
Dollar bill w ic ave most of t e security features as genuine banknotes).
How to tak data sampl for g nuin or Susp ct Banknot s:
1. First insert USB stick in the port located in the back of the
machine. Make sure that USB drive is empty or have enough
memory space.
2. A new symbol will appear on the MIB-1 LCD Display screen next to where the piece count (PCS) shows.
See screen shot. Once the Symbol appears, machine is ready to capture the data samples of non-
recognize genuine banknote or suspect banks. Follow the steps below:
[MIX] mode is used for capturing [COUNT] mode is used to capture suspect
genuine banknotes data banknote data.

5
For Non-Recognized genuine Banknotes: (for software improvement)
a) Change counting mode to [MIX] Mode for capturing data sample of genuine
banknotes. Change speed to 1000 notes per minute.
b) Once machine is in [MIX] mode, insert the unrecognize banknote onto the hopper of
the machine to count or feed as you would count banknotes normally, but, feed the
banknote in all 4 direction and one direction at a time as the photo illustrated at the
below.
c) Machine will then capture all 4 direction of the non-recognize banknote during this
process.
d) If you have more than one banknote to take data samples, then, you would need to
process each banknote one at a time as described from a) to c)
Example: (Capturing data in all 4 directions)
For Suspect banknotes or genuine banknote stops for suspect (False alarm)
a) The overall process is the same as above described in #2, however, change
Counting Mode to [COUNT] mode for capturing data sample of suspect banknotes or
genuine banknotes stopping for suspect reasons (false alarm).
b) Once machine is in [COUNT] mode, insert such banknote onto the hopper of the
machine to count as you would count banknotes normally.
c) Feed the banknote in all 4 direction and one direction at a time as the photo
illustrated at the above.
d) Machine will then capture all 4 direction of the suspect banknote during this process.
e) If you have more than one banknote to take data samples, then, you would need to
process each banknote one at a time as described from a) to d)
f) At the end, machine will capture all suspect or genuine banknotes.
3. As soon as machine completes counting / processing of those banknotes, data sampling
process is completed. Please remove the USB drive from the rear side of the machine
and insert into your PC’s USB drive.
4. Locate the USB drive folder on your PC and look for newly created folder on the USB
drive.

6
For Data Samples for Genuine Banknotes (to improve recognition).
a. Locate a folder labeled as ERR
Using MIX mode created file:
For Data Samples for Suspect Banknotes (to improve suspect detection.
Locate the newly created folder on the USB drive and check for 3 new folders labeled
as: IRfile, MGUV, and WhiteFile
Using [COUNT] mode crated files:
5. Please zip these files separately and provide to us via email or file sharing link such as
google drive.
If you need assistant, please contact our SERVICE TEAM

port of t e mac ine, and t en turn on t e mac ine. T e mac ine will
automatically enter t e upgrade process.
b) MIB-1 mac ine display will s ow a progress bar indicating t e process of
uploading t e software onto t e mac ine. Aft r th progr ss bars turn to
green completely as s own on t e above illustration, upload process is
completed.
c) Turn off t e mac ine, unplug / remove t e USB Drive and Turn ON / Restart
t e mac ine. Mac ine will return to Normal display screen.

4. ERROR CODE AND SOLUTIONS
W en MIB-1 is first turned on, t e mac ine will enter in to self-c eck
(Initialization) automatically. If LCD screen displays any of t e following error codes, it
is because t at t ere may be dust on t e surface of sensors or sensors blocked by
notes or ot er particulates or paper clips and so on. Solutions: Clean t e dust wit
brus or soft clot or remove t e banknotes if in t e bill pat , and t en restart t e
mac ine. Contact AMROTEC is problem continues to persist.

2) US Curr ncy Softwar and D t ction L v l Adjustm nt (to modify th CF l v l)
MIB-1 machin is d sign d with 2 diff r nt US curr ncy softwar .
USA: USA software for US currency is more relaxed,
means, sensitivity level for CF detectors and image
sensors are more relaxed designed for more circulated
banknotes in various conditions (except unfit banknotes)
and under t is software, MIB-1 will produce t e best
recognition results w ile still able to detect copy
counterfeit banknotes. By Software default, USA
currency software will appear on t e mac ine w en it is first turned on.
Due to pre-adjustment of CF and ot er sensor settings
adjustment for USA currency Software from factory to
work best wit US currencies, it is not recommended to
adjust any of t ese levels wit out our prior aut orization
and discussion.
USD: USD software for US currency is more strict,
means, sensitivity level for CF detectors and image
sensors are more strict or ig er levels set designed for
more detection of suspect banknotes (except t ose
ig ly sop isticated Super Dollar banknotes) w ile still
generate good reads results wit circulated banknotes in
various conditions (except unfit banknotes). However,
certain circulated banknotes may stop for no-read under
t is level, so, t is USD software is only for t ose
customers wis to detect more suspect banknotes w ile
accept more No-read banknotes by sensors.
It is also not recommended to adjust any of t ese levels
wit out our prior aut orization and discussion.

13
In case it is required to adjust certain detection level for any of t e above currency
system and levels and AMROTEC aut orized our dealers to do so, please follow t e
below instructions:
a) Press [MENU] key on t e control panel > Press #1 key to
enter to (1) Service Menu
b) Input password:2552 w en prompted.
c) Scroll next page to (8) Detection Level by pressing
arrow down key  or press #8 key on t e
control panel.
d) Once in (8) Detection Level, press to enter into
sub-menu as below:
If MIB-1 is set to “USA” currency system, t en, CF level will appear as below
and if “USD” is set as standard, t en, CF level will appear as below:
e) If you desire to make any c anges to t ese settings, scroll wit  left/rig t
arrow on t e control panel to reac to t e detector level and adjust desire
settings by pressing  up(+) /  down(-) arrow. Once new setting is set, press
key to save t e new setting and ESC to return to Main screen.
