Introduction
The Cashmaster Omega 230 is an electronic weighing device which calculates the value
of coins and bills. The Cashmaster Omega 230 supports your domestic currency: bills
and coins. The intuitive user friendly interface guides you through the cash counting
process. The Cashmaster Omega 230 is programmed to count the contents of a typical
cash register:
· Bills (loose, banded bundles, clipped bundles)
· Coins (loose, rolled, scoop/cup, other container)
· Checks
· Tokens/Coupons
· Manual entries ie: Checks, Credit, Debit, Gift vouchers
Using the Cashmaster you will notice some changes in the way you work:
· Reduced paperwork
· Streamlined working methods making the business more competitive
· More time to concentrate on key tasks
Guidelines
1. Place the Cashmaster Omega 230 on a rm, even surface, away from drafts
and vibrations.
2. Insert the TRAY, pushing down VERY rmly into position until it “clicks”.
3. Ensure area around the tray is kept clear.
4. The coin scoop should NOT be placed on the device before switching on.
5. Plug in the AC adaptor and switch on at the mains.
6. The device is not a counterfeit detector and hence will not detect counterfeit
money.
7. Weights may vary from the initial factory setting. It may be necessary to carry
out some initial Bill ‘learning’ in order to quickly adjust the machine to your
local conditions.
8. Ensure money is sorted by denomination before counting. Mixed denominations
cannot be counted.
9. Do not subject the device to strong impact or shock load by any means.
10. Ensure that money is placed onto the equipment with reasonable care.
