Guider until you hear a clicking sound, it means the Note Guider is installed in position, as shown in the
Figure 3.
Figure 3

3) Connect the machine to the power supply and turn on the power switch. First, the machine enters the
loading interface. After loading, the machine enters the self-check interface, as shown in Figure 5 below.
The machine will enter the main interface after self-checking succeeds, as shown in Figure 6 below:
Figure 5 Figure 6
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, 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 dollars 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 Figure 7:
