adjustments required are taken care of at the start.
1. Press bill <Ï>or <Ð> until you reach the bill denomination required.
2. Place 8-10 bills of the chosen denomination on the cash tray.
3. When the Omega “C” beeps and the display is updated, add some more bills.
4. Remove all bills from the cash tray.
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 several times and each time try to increase the number you
can apply in one slice.
If the display shows:
TOO MANY BILLS
REMOVE SOME
Remove a few until you see a valid reading, then continue.
6. Eventually you should be able to apply up to 25 bills in one go.
7. Repeat from step 1 until all bill denominations have been programmed.
N.B. This initial programming of loose bills must be completed for all bill
denominations before strapped bills can be verified.
