Ensure the hopper and stacker are empty. Attach power cable to rear of the machine, plug into
a three-prong outlet and turn the power switch, located on the rear of the machine, to the ON position.
The unit will load and conduct a power on self-test (POST). The screen will display “0” when the unit
is ready to operate.
In order to avoid jams and ensure proper operating speed of the machine, it is important to correctly
load the hopper. Cassida recommends to not use more that 500 bills at a time and change to manual
mode until the technique of loading bills is mastered. Follow the 3-step loading technique below to
ensure smooth bill feeding.
1. Make A Stack
Correct or remove bills that are severely wirnkled, damaged or folded. Square the bill stack.

GETTING STARTED

Cassida 8800R Mixed Currency Counter & Sorter
After turning the machine on for the first time it will default to MIX mode, and “MIX” is displayed on the
home screen.
MIX mode is used to count a stack of mixed denominations. To count mixed bills, place them in the
hopper and follow the procedure described in 2.2 LOADING THE HOPPER. The machine will start
counting and will move the bills from the hopper to the stacker as it counts them. The machine will stop
counting when the hopper is completely emptied. Total number of bills and total value will be displayed
on the home screen. When the operation is complete, you can view a detailed report by pressing the
REPORT button.
To return to MIX mode from another mode, press the MODE button, or on the touch screen press the
mode name, until “MIX” is displayed.
This mode is available either by pressing the MODE button or by pressing the mode name on the
touch screen until “SORT” is displayed on the home screen.
SORT mode allows the user to count and sort bills by one denomination which is automatically
determined by the first bill scanned in the stack. This can be useful to be sure that there are no bills
of other denominations in a large stack of one denomination. The first bill in the hopper determines
the counting and sorting denomination. Any time a bill passes through the machine and does not
conform to the denomination determined by the first bill, the machine will stop and prompt a removal
of the bill that is different in denomination. Once that top bill has been removed press the “START”
key to continue sorting. The total number of bills and total value will be displayed on the home
screen. When operation is complete, you can view a detailed report by pressing the “REPORT”
button.
To return to SORT mode from another mode, press the MODE button, or on the touch screen press
the mode name, until “SORT” is displayed.
3.2 Mix Mode
3.3 Sort Mode
13

This mode is available by either pressing the MODE button or by pressing the mode name on the screen until
‘’VSORT’’ is displayed on the home screen.
VSORT mode allows the user to count a mixed stack of bills and separate them by denomination, similar
to a cash register. This mode identifies the first bill in the hopper when the machine begins to count, and if
a different denomination is detected, the machine stops and displays a message. The user must follow the
instructions displayed on that message. Every time a denomination changes, the user must remove all bills
from the stacker and separate them by denomination. When counting is finished, the user will have separated
all bills into piles of each denomination. VSORT by default works with ADD mode, allowing the user to keep
track of the total number of bills along with the total value displayed on the home screen. When the operation
is complete, the user can review a detailed report by pressing the REPORT button.
To return to VSORT mode from another mode, press the MODE button, or on the touch screen press the mode
name, until “VSORT” is displayed.
This mode is available by either pressing the MODE button or by pressing the mode name on the screen until
‘’FACE’’ is displayed on the home screen.
FACE mode allows the user to sort bills based on whether they are loaded into the 8800R face up or face
down. The first bill in the hopper determines the sorting and counting orientation. If the first bill through the
machine is facing up, the machine will count all bills facing up and stop every time the bills are facing down
and display a message on the screen. The bills that are facing the opposite direction will not be counted. Total
number of bills and total value will be displayed on home screen. When operation is complete, you can view
a detailed report by pressing the REPORT button.
To return to FACE mode from another mode, press the MODE button, or on the touch screen press the mode
name, until “FACE” is displayed.
3.4 VSort Mode
3.5 Face Mode
14

Cassida 8800R Mixed Currency Counter & Sorter
This mode is available by either pressing the MODE button or by pressing the mode name on the
screen until ‘’ORIENT’’ is displayed on the home screen.
ORIENTATION mode allows the user to count and sort bills by one of the 4 orientations. The first bill in
the hopper determines the counting orientation. Any time a bill passes through the machine and does
not conform to the orientation determined by the first bill, the machine will stop and display a message
on the screen with the instructions to remove the nonconforming bill from the stacker. This bill will not be
added to the count. Total number of bills and total value will be displayed on the home screen.
When operation is complete, you can view a detailed report by pressing the REPORT button.
To return to ORIENTATION mode from another mode, press the MODE button, or on the touch screen
press the mode name, until “ORIENT” is displayed.
This mode is available by either pressing the MODE button or by pressing the mode name on the
screen until “COUNT” is displayed on the home screen.
COUNT mode allows the user to simply count the total number of bills. It does not recognize or record
the denomination of any bills. During COUNT mode, there is no counterfeit detection active.
To return to COUNT mode from another mode, press the MODE button, or on the touch screen press the
mode name, until “COUNT” is displayed.
3.6 Orientation Mode
3.7 Count Mode

This function is available by pressing the ADD button. When the ADD function is activated “ADD” will be
displayed on the home screen.
In this function, the unit will count multiple stacks of bills while keeping track of the total amount and value of
bills counted. Place the first stack of bills to be counted into the hopper. The number and value of bills will be
displayed on screen. When ready to count the next stack of bills, empty the stacker and add the new stack
to be counted into the hopper. The unit will continue counting and add the new count to the total. When the
operation is complete, you can view a detailed report by pressing the REPORT button. Note that the Cassida
8800R will keep in memory the last value used when turned off.
To exit the ADD function, press the ADD button again.
This function is available by pressing the BATCH button. When the BATCH function is activated, batch size and
“ON” is displayed on the home screen.
BATCH function is used to select a batch quantity for a specific counting process. With the BATCH function
active, the machine counts a preset number of bills and then stops counting when the batch number has been
reached, even if bills remain in the hopper. You may press the BATCH button repeatedly to cycle through
different preset batch quantities (100, 50, 20, 10), or use the “arrow up” and “arrow down” buttons to
manually select your desired batch quantity.
When the set batch quantity is reached, the Cassida 8800R will automatically stop and a “BATCH
COMPLETE” message will be displayed on the screen alongside the number of bills counted. When the
stacker is emptied, the machine will automatically continue to count up to the preset batch quantity to create
another batch.
If the hopper runs out of bills before a batch is completed, the machine will display “BATCH INCOMPLETE”
on screen, At this point, the user may add bills to the hopper to complete the batch or remove the incomplete
batch from the machine.
To exit the BATCH function, press the BATCH button until BATCH disappears on the screen.

from the screen.

total amount of each denomination counted, the value of the counted bills of that denomination,
and a grand total value of all bills counted.
To exit the report screen, press the left arrow.
