GETTING STARTED
2.
2.1 Powering Up
Ensure the hopper and stacker are empty. Then, attach the provided power cable to the power inlet
on the back of the machine. Make sure to plug the power cable into a three-prong outlet and turn
on the power switch located on the back of the machine .
The unit will load and conduct a self-checking. When the home screen is displayed the machine is
ready to operate.
2.2 Loading the Hopper
In order to avoid jams and ensure proper operating speed of the machine, it is important to
correctly load the hopper. 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.
Adjust the hopper bill guides to a size slightly wider (0.10’’ on each side) than the width of the bills
in the stack (all US dollar denomination are the same size). This will help to correctly place the bills
in the hopper, and will ensue smooth bill feeding.
WARNING: Hazardous moving parts!
Do not place fingers, hair, clothes, etc. near the moving parts.
