Note: Several factors can cause a KCD-1000 to not recognize a genuine bill:
- Overly wrinkled, overly creased, and overly worn bills
- Dropping the unit or bumping into the unit during use
- A harsh change in temperature
- Extended period of non-use
- Improper maintenance or lack of preventative maintenance/cleaning
