1.7 Notes Placement
1) Please put the handle of the machine on the back of the machine first.
2) The banknotes to be counted should be sorted according to size and then put into the hopper. The
banknotes counted should be pre-arranged and straightened out when they encounter folds, folds, and arches,
which can increase the one-time pass rate.
3) During the banknote counting process, the note guider should be limited according to the maximum size
of currently counted notes to ensure that the banknotes can be accurately identified by the relevant sensors.
Taking US dollors as an example, please arrange the banknotes first, and then limit the note guider according
to the largest size banknote. Finally, put the banknotes into the hopper and start counting, as shown in the
