Hopper
The hopper is the area on the top of the machine where documents are placed for processing. If
the machine is configured to auto-start, the rollers and wheels begin moving as soon as the
machine detects documents in the hopper.
Required Hopper Guides for Check Processing
Additional hopper guides are required for check processing. The stationary guides are installed in
the hopper. Contact a Cummins Allison representative for more information.
When the adjustable hopper guides are raised for check processing, the stationary hopper guides
keep checks aligned as they enter the feeder. This reduces the risk of feed errors and no calls.
Hopper Guides for Check Processing
Machine is auto-start capable. Feed rollers in hopper rotate inward.
Entanglement and drawing-in hazard.
Do not operate with exposed long hair, neckties, jewelry or loose
clothing.
Select i100-series models process checks, deposit slips and other financial
institution MICR documents that meet U.S. standard specifications.

Thickness Adjustment Dial
The dial located on the top of the machine adjusts the tightness of the feeder through which
documents pass during operation. The dial has positive and negative adjustment numbers, with 0
at the center of the adjustment range.
Interior Upper-Transport Plate Diagrams
The interior upper-transport plate must be raised for jam recovery and daily cleaning. The upper-
transport plate is accessed by lifting the display panel, and it is disengaged by pressing down on
the release levers. After disengaging, lift the upper-transport plate to the open, locked position, as
shown above. To close the upper-transport plate, press down on the release levers to unlock it
from the open position. Next, push down on the upper-transport plate until it locks in the closed
position, which produces an audible click.
For normal feeding, start with 0at the top of the dial.
To help reduce the occurrence of doubles or chains, turn the dial to the right, so a
negative number is at the top, decreasing the distance between the rollers.
Turning the dial to the left, so a positive number is at the top, increases the
spacing between the rollers, allowing documents to pass through more easily.

SUB-BATCH
A sub-batch is a deposit processed from one or several sources and treated as
sub-groups within a batch. Sub-batch tracks individual amounts and provides a
total by category, as well as a grand total. Available in all operating modes.
BATCH
A batch is a deposit processed from one general source. Batch tracks individual
amounts and provides a total by category, as well as a grand total. Available in
all operating modes.
DAY TOTAL
A day total is the grand total of deposits processed since the last time day totals
were cleared. Day total tracks individual amounts and provides a total by
category, as well as a grand total. Available in all operating modes.

How to Use the Verify Function
The verify function runs documents “off-line” without adding them to machine totals and is
intended for use in recounting and reconciling any count suspected of being incorrect.
The verify function provides a unique day total that only tracks documents processed while using
this function. Verification counts are not added to current batch, sub-batch or day totals and are
not sent to host systems that may be connected to the machine.
The verify function can be used with current mode settings or a customized environment.
Customized settings – such as disabling counterfeit detection or lowering density settings – only
apply to the active verify session and are not retained for future sessions.
When users exit the verify function, the machine resumes its previous operating mode, totals
and settings.
To use the verify function:
1. Press VERIFY. The VERIFY key is yellow and the total changes to 0.
2. If desired, change sensitivity settings, and then process the documents.
3. Press VERIFY again to resume normal operation.
When imaging options are activated (serial-number, check or ticket capture),
image data is not captured while using the verify function.
These changes are only active while using the verify function and do not
affect operating-mode settings.

MIXED, MIXED/FACE or MIXED/ORIENTATION. A strap limit may be set for any piece
count.
Denominations and document types are itemized in the DENOM column. The TICKET row
refers to the ticket count and appears when the machine is set to count tickets only. The COUNT
and CHECK rows refer to the non-value piece count and appear while using COUNT mode or
processing checks.
The UNIT column indicates the current strap count. The LIMIT column indicates the current
strap limit.

10, 25, 40, 50, 75, 100 and infinite (INF). Stop on the desired setting.
•Use the numeric keypad to enter the strap limit or press 0for infinite. To delete one
character from the right, press .
3. Do one of the following:
•Press ALL to set all denominations and documents at this strap limit.
•Press or to select to the next desired document and repeat step 2 to set the strap
limit.
4. When configuration is complete, press EXIT to return to the main screen.
