Getting Started … (Simple Counting)
Placing Bills into the Hopper
It is very important to place the bills into the hopper correctly because recognition performance of
the bills is highly affected by the arrangement of the bills. And the number of the rejected bills can
be increased when they are not arranged and placed. Refer to the pictures for the correct
placement of the bills.
Good Bad
Please avoid counting bills like wet, excessively dirty, spoiled, folded, curled notes and with foreign
material like clips, bands, etc. Sometimes it causes malfunction of the machine.
Counting
In AUTO mode, the machine starts to count the bill automatically as it detects the existence of the
bill in the hopper. In MANUAL mode, the machine will start to count the bill only if the bills are
placed into the hopper and START key is pressed. While counting, the machine will display the
number of the bills on LCD display and it stops working when it meets the conditions described as
below;
-No bills in the hopper
-Stacker is full.
-Rejecter is full.
-The number of the bills counted is the same as the batch number to be set in BATCH
mode.
-Errors have occurred.
When the machine finishes counting without errors, the number of counted bills will be displayed in
COUNT mode, and the value of the counted bills will be displayed in all modes except COUNT
mode.

10
If ADD mode is set, the cumulative number will be displayed in COUNT mode.
If an error is occurred during operation and the machine stops, then an error message will be
displayed. To clear the error, press CLEAR key. The machine will try to solve the problem
automatically, but if it fails to clear a jam or there are some other mechanical errors, open the front
or rear cover and get rid of jammed bills and close the cover correctly. Then press the CLEAR key
again to clear error message. Especially in case of JAM3, it is recommended to open the front
cover and to check the machine before pressing CLEAR key.
Stop in operation
Press START button to stop operation while the machine is counting.
To restart, press CLEAR button.

11
Basic Operation
Selecting Counter Mode
There are four counting modes; COUNT, MIXED, SORT and SINGLE modes. Furthermore, the
machine provides the facilities to align notes with same face or same directions, for detail refer to
the “Facing Mode” and “Orientation Mode” described below.
The modes are changed in sequence as shown below every time when the MODE key is pressed;
MIXED SINGL SORT FACE ORENT COUNT
■Mixed mode (MIXED mode)
In Mixed mode, the machine counts and discriminates the denominations of the bank notes. If the
denomination of a bank note is successfully discriminated, then the note will be sent to the output
stacker. If a note fails to be detected or it is a counterfeit suspect (if CF mode is ON), the note will
be sent to the reject pocket.
To change into the MIXED mode, press MODE key until “MIXED” is displayed on LCD.
■Single mode (SINGL mode)
In Single mode, when the machine reads a note whose denomination is same as the first
denomination of note counted or the pre-set denomination while counting and discriminating the
notes, then it sends the note to the output stacker. If the note is not the same denomination, the
machine will send the note to the Reject Pocket.
To change the mode into Single mode, press MODE key until “SINGL” is displayed on LCD.
After changing the mode into SINGL, a denomination must be set by pressing DENOM key. The
denomination will be displayed in LCD like below. For example (in case of US dollar), every time

12
DENOM key is pressed, the denomination will be changed sequentially:
$1 -> $2 -> $5 -> $10 -> $20 -> $50 -> $100 -> D.D
D.D is an abbreviation of “Detected Denomination”. If D.D is selected, the machine detects a
denomination of the first bank note and the machine counts the notes of that denomination and all
other denominations to the reject pocket. Once a denomination is selected under the condition of
D.D, it cannot be changed while the Input Hopper or the output stacker contains notes. If the output
stacker and the input Hopper are emptied, the machine will try to find a new denomination of the
first note in next trial and sorts the notes with the new denomination.
■Sorting mode (SORT mode)
In SORT mode, the machine allows you to count and sort stacks of mixed denomination notes into
straps and verify deposits. Each time machine begins processing of a new stack of notes, it
automatically starts counting denomination of the first note fed from the hopper. When a note of a
different denomination from the first denomination is detected, machine stops with the error
message “CHANGE OF DENOM.” and user would be asked to remove all notes from the stacker.
The stopped note would be included in the counted result along with rest of the notes on the
stacker.
Once all banknotes are removed from the stacker and START key is pressed, machine then
continues counting of that second denomination of banknotes. Machine stops when it sees a
different denomination and upon placing START key, machine continues to count and sort rest of
the notes in the stack

13
■Facing mode (FACE mode)
Facing means to arrange the notes by its face. In this mode, the machine reads the first note to find
out the face and denomination information. Then it passes the note whose face and denomination
is the same as the first note to the output stacker. If a face of a note or a denomination is not as
same as the first note, those notes will be sent to the Reject Pocket. Other operation is the same
as SINGL mode operation with D.D condition except that the machine sorts the notes by their faces.
If you want to change the face or the denomination, empty the output Stacker and the input Hopper
and retry with the first note whose face and denomination are the same, as you want to sort out.
This Face mode also equipped with a “Face-All” sub-mode where machine allows you to sort mixed
banknotes by face. The machine reads the first note to find out the face information despite of
denomination. AllD.D$1 $2 $5$10$20$50$100
■Orientation mode (ORENT mode)
In this mode, the machine arranges the note with its
direction, face and denomination. The machine reads the
first note and find out information regarding denomination,
direction and face. Then it sorts the notes with the
information. If a note has same denomination, face, and
direction, it will be sent to the output Stacker Pocket.
Otherwise it will be sent to the Reject Pocket. Other
operation is as same as SINGL mode operation with D.D
condition except that the machine sorts by direction and face.
The machine will try to find out information for sorting every stack
of currency after the output Stacker and the input Hopper are
emptied. You can change the sorting condition by changing the first note of the stack of notes to
the same one whose denomination, face and direction is as same as you want to sort out.
If you try to orient as like the picture shown on the up right, then the notes will be arranged at the
Stacker as the picture showed.
This Orientation mode also equipped with an “Orent-All” sub-mode where machine allows you to
sort mixed banknotes by its orientation. The machine reads the first note to find out the direction of
face information despite of denomination. AllD.D$1 $2 $5$10$20$50$100
■Count mode (COUNT mode)
In Counting mode, the machine only counts the bank notes without discriminating a denomination.
To change into the simple counting mode, press MODE key until “COUNT” is displayed on LCD

14
<OPTIONAL FUNCTION>
■Serial number printing mode (SRL mode)
In SRL mode, the machine reads serial no. of banknote and prints it as an image on a thermal
printer.
To change into the SRL mode, press MODE key until “SRL” is displayed on LCD.
■P-OCR mode
In P-OCR mode, the machine reads serial no. of banknote and prints it as an image and at the
same time, the image is sent to the PC. By running the application program on the computer, user
can read the image and convert it into OCR data so that user can store and manage it.
To change into the P-OCR mode, press MODE key until “P-OCR” is displayed on LCD.
■B-CODE and B-MIXED mode
In B-CODE Mode, machine reads bar code printed on casino tickets and sends image data to an
attached printer (SBM configured Thermal Printer) or to your PC application software. In B-MIXED
mode, the machine reads bar coded tickets and banknotes at one pass and sends bar code
information as image to the printer or to your PC software. To change into the B-CODE or B-
MIXED mode, press MODE key until the mode displayed on LCD.
Selecting Counterfeit Function
CF determines the method of detecting a counterfeit. With pressing CF key, the mode is changed
like below;
CF ON / OFF
If a note is determined as a counterfeit, CF sign will be lit on LCD as the figure like below and the

15
note will be sent to the Reject Pocket. The machine will beep warning sound if the counting job is
finished. The sign will be cleared automatically when the Reject Pocket is emptied and a new stack
of currency is started.
Selecting Add Function
■ADD Function in COUNT MODE
ADD function provides a cumulative count on COUNT mode. For example, if operator places a
stack of 400 banknotes on the hopper, the machine will stop at 200, which is maximum capacity of
the Stacker. But if cumulative count is activated by pressing ADD key, the machine will count and
stops when the Stacker reached the maximum capacity of 200 notes and resumes counting once
notes are removed from the stacker and START key is pressed.
The Add function is On/Off by pressing ADD key.
■ADD Function in all other modes (Mixed, Sort, Face, Orent).
When ADD is on, SB1000 /SB-1100 will accumulate each running total in all of these modes and
save them to memory. Each of these running totals will be added automatically and carry over to
the next count when modes are changed. For example, a running total in Mixed mode can be
carried over to the running total in Sort mode. Total amount will be displayed all the time even
when multiple counts are performed.
Selecting Batch Function
BATCH key is used to turn on/off the batch function. Once pressed, you have to input batch size
(1-200) using keypad and then press START button to enter. In the batch count mode, the machine
stops counting when the piece count reaches the batch setting even though the bank notes remain
in the Input Hopper.
To deactivate the batch count mode, simply press BATCH key, confirming that the batch size
displayed on LCD has disappeared.

16
Each Denomination associated Batch function (DB) is available with ‘SINGLE’, ‘SORT’, and
‘FACE’ (ALL)’ modes and can be activated or deactivated by pressing [BATCH] key. This is how
they are organized: By pressing Batch key in SINGL, SORT, or FACE(ALL), batch function will be
changed recursively like below:
In SINGL or FACE (ALL) mode:
Denom. Batch ON Normal Batch (1-200) ON All Batch Off 
In SORT mode:
Denom. Batch On Denom. Batch Off 
Once Batch Key is pressed, “DB” message will be displayed on LCD ensuring activation of
denomination batch function. If DB is selected, machine will count and batch the desired
denomination by pre-set batch number. For further information on how to set up DB (Denomination
Batch) setting, please refer to Chapter 7. Set Function and its Parameters 

Grand Total
When SB1000 /SB-1100 starts printing counting result, the value, which is displayed as T$ on
LCD, is added to the grand total automatically. Then the display will show the total amount of the
grand total. Even though a printer is not connected, this operation will be done because SB1000
/SB-1100 does not check whether a printer is connected or not.
The grand total is managed separately in MIXED and SINGL mode, namely there are two grand
totals. You can see only one grand total at a time: for example in SINGL mode the display will show
only grand total for SINGL.
If you want to just see the grand total without adding a value then press GT key and the display will
be changed like below pictures every time when GT key is pressed. Only in this display mode the
operator can clear grand total by pressing CLEAR key. If the grand total is cleared, the printing
sequence number is automatically reset to “1”.
To exit from the grand total display mode, just press DISPLAY or just start another counting job.
