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 Figure 7:
