OPERATION
2.
2.1 Getting started
Connect the power cable to the port. Before switching on the unit, make sure the hopper
is empty. Using the power switch behind the counter, turn the machine on. The device will
self-test and is ready for operation when the display shows the home screen. Before using
the device, it is recommended to leave the machine turned on for 10-15 minutes (to warm
up the counterfeit detection sensors)
2.2 Bill Loading Procedure
Before loading bills and working on the Kolibri Domino, the user should check the
counting mode.
It is very important to place the bills into the hopper correctly, because recognition
performance of the bills is highly affected by the arrangement of the bills. Bills should be
placed in a neat stack prior to being placed into the hopper. Avoid counting bills that are
wet, excessively dirty, spoiled, folded, curled or with foreign material like clips, bands, etc.
Bills such as these can cause the machine to malfunction.
Tips: To reduce rejects
• Place the bills evenly arranged as shown below.
• Adjust bill guides to t to the size of the bills.
• Correct the bills if they are severely wrinkled or damaged.
WARNING: Hazardous moving parts!
Do not place ngers, hair, clothes, etc. near the moving parts.
TIPS: To Reduce Rejects
1. MAKE A STACK
3. FEED THE BILLS
2. LOAD THE STACK
Correct or remove bills that are severely wrinkled,
damaged or folded. Square the bill stack.

2.3 Feed Gap Adjustment Procedure
Sometimes, during the transportation or shipment of the unit, the adjustment of the feed
mechanism may loosen. This can also happen during normal wear or tear and can lead
to DB and DD errors. The feed gap is the actual height of the bill feed path, and should be
tuned to just about the thickness of a single bill. If the feed gap is too wide, the user may
experience a high amount of DB and DD errors which are caused by more than one bill
entering the scanning path at one time. If the feed gap is too tight, the unit may not be able
to pass bills into the scanning path, or catch on bills and tear them.
The following steps are the procedure for adjusting the feed gap:
1. Ensure the machine is turned off.
2. Position the rollers so that none of the dark-colored rubber teeth are visible. This can be
done by turning the kick rollers. Only the black smooth sections of the rollers should
be showing.
Incorrect Position:
Turn rollers until teeth are no longer visible.
Correct Position:
3. Place one bill that is crisp and rigid enough to prevent bending during the adjustment
procedure. Place it lengthwise either to the right or left side of the hopper. See image
below for example.
8 9

10
4. Guide the bill between the inner rollers during this step; you should feel moderate
resistance as you move the bill back and forth through these rollers. In other words,
the gap between these rollers is wide enough to pass just one bill per count, but narrow
enough to feel a slight tension or friction when pulling the bill out.
To adjust the bill feed gap, use the instructions below to turn the adjustment screw at the
top of the unit:
a) Make a 1/16 of an inch adjustment, then retest.
b) If the bill feels too loose, tighten the feed gap by turning the adjustment
screw counterclockwise.
c) If the resistence against the bill feels too strong, loosen the gap by turning the
screw clockwise.
Important Note:
The Kolibri Domino’s feed gap adjustment can be sensitive during adjustments. Do not
overturn each adjustment or you may overshoot the optimum gap. We recommend testing
with a stack of bills after each adjustment turn.
If you are experiencing a
high amount of Double
Error, Chain Error or
multiple bills jamming
inside the machine,
turn the adjustment
screw 1/16 of an inch
counterclockwise.
Then retest.
If the unit has a hard
time feeding the bills
or tears the bill, make
a 1/16 of an inch turn
clockwise, then retest.
2.3.1 Counting Modes
There are 7 counting modes on the Kolibri Domino
MIX mode
SORT mode
COUNT mode
FACE mode
ORIENT (Orientation) mode
ADD mode
BATCH mode
2.3.2 MIX mode
This mode is available from the home screen by touching the button that corresponds to the
MIX icon, or by touching the MIX icon directly on the touch display.
MIX mode is used to count a stack of mixed denominations. Total number of bills and total
value will be displayed on screen. When operation is complete, you can view a detailed report
by pressing the TOTAL icon on the touch screen, or by pressing the corresponding button.
2.3.3 SORT mode
This mode is available from the home screen by touching the button that corresponds to
the SORT icon, or by touching the SORT icon directly on the touch display.
SORT mode allows the user to count and sort
bills by one denomination which is automatically
determined by the rst bill scanned in a stack. This
can be useful when you have a large strap of one
denomination, but you want to be sure that there
are no bills of other denominations in the strap.
After the rst bill is identied, the machine will stop
every time a bill of a different denomination passes
through the machine. When this occurs, a message
will pop up on screen with directions for the user to
remove the top bill from the stack and
continue counting.
Sort Message
11

The result of this process is a uniform stack of bills of a single denomination. When
operation is complete, you can view a detailed report by pressing the TOTAL icon on
the touch screen, or by pressing the corresponding button.
2.3.4 COUNT mode
This mode is available from the home screen by touching the button that corresponds
to the COUNT icon, or by touching the COUNT icon directly on the touch display.
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.
2.3.5 FACE mode
AUTO BATCH
FAC E
ORIENT
SORT MENU
This mode is available from the home screen by touching the FACE on the display, or
by selecting FACE/Orientation from the menu.
FACE mode allows the user to sort bills
based on whether they are loaded into the
Domino face up or face down. The rst bill
in the hopper determines the sorting and
counting orientation. If the rst bill through
the machine is face up, all bills in the stack
that are face up will end up in the stacker.
Any time a bill passes through the Domino
that is not face up, the machine will stop
and prompt the user to remove that bill
from the stack. Total number and total
value of the counted bills will be displayed
on the home screen. Face Message
2.3.6 ORIENTATION Mode
This mode is available from the home screen by touching the ORIENT icon on the display, or
by selecting Face/Orientation from the menu.
ORIENTATION mode allows the user to count and
sort bills by one of 4 orientations. The rst 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 rst
bill, the machine will stop and prompt the user to
remove the nonconforming bill from the stack. Total
number and total value of the counted bills will be
displayed on the home screen.
ORIENTATION mode is most effective when used after a stack of bills has already been faced
uniformly by using the FACE mode.
2.3.7 ADD Mode
This mode is available from the home screen by touching the button that corresponds to the
ADD icon on the home screen, or by touch the ADD icon directly.
The addition function provides a cumulative count of bills even across multiple stacks of
bills. For example, the user wants to process 500 bills but the machine can only process
250, which is the limit of the stacker. The user can process the rst 250, then remove the
bills from the stacker and the machine will process the remaining 250 bills and add them to
the running total.

2.3.8 BATCH Mode
This mode is available from the home screen by touching the BATCH icon or by
selecting BATCH from the menu.
The BATCH function is used to select a batch
quantity for a specic counting process. With
the BATCH mode 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. By
default, opening the batch menu will set the
batch size to 0. From this menu the batch size
can be adjusted by pressing the +1, +10, or
+100 icons, and saved by pressing the enter
icon.
A “BATCH FULL” message will ash on the display when the counting reaches the
preset number. The user can then remove the batch of bills from the stacker and the
machine will automatically count out the next batch.
If there are not enough bills in the hopper to complete a batch, a “BATCH
INCOMPLETE” message will ash on the display. More bills can then be added to the
hopper and the batching can be resumed.
