5 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 correctly. Refer to the pictures below 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.

13
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.
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.
STOP during OPERATION
Press START button to stop operation while the machine is counting.
To restart, press CLEAR button.

6 Basic Operation
Selecting Counter Mode
There are three counting modes; COUNT, MIXED, and SINGLE modes.
The modes are changed in sequence as shown below every time when the MODE key is pressed;
MIXED  SINGL  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 suspect note (if CF 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, the machine sorts out notes whose denomination is the same as a selected denomination. The
other notes whose denomination is not matched will be sent to the reject pocket. To select a denomination,

15
press DENOM key. The denomination will be displayed in LCD. For
example in case of US dollar, every time DENOM key is pressed, the
denomination will be changed sequentially:
D.D -> $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 the denomination of the first note and sets it to the
selected denomination. Once a denomination is selected by 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.
■ FACE mode
A banknote has 2 faces, front face and rear face. If front and rear face banknotes of a denomination are mixed
the machine can sort front face to Stacker and rear face to Reject pocket.
Pressing the Display key you can find the “Stay Note” as the reject reason.
■ ORIENT mode
The face of a banknote has 2 orientation, Up and Down. After you sort front face and rear face of a banknote

16
bundle you can also get the sole orientation of a banknote bundle with this mode. The banknote bundle
arranged to one face by now can be sorted Up to Stacker and Down to Reject pocket.
In this time you can also find “Stay Note” as the reject reason pressing the Display key.
■ Count mode (COUNT mode)
In Count 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
CF Detector On/Off
To turn on/off CF detector, press CF key. If “CF” appears on LCD, then it
means the detector is activated.
If a note is determined as a counterfeit, CF sign will be lit on LCD as the
figure like below and the 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.

17
ADD On/Off
To turn on/off ADD function, press ADD key.
ADD function enables to do a cumulative count. For example, if ADD is on, the counting result is not cleared but
added to the next counting result. It is useful function when an operator wants to counter a lot of cash.
BATCH On/Off
To turn on/off BATCH function, press BATCH key. Once turned on, you have to input batch size using keypad
and then press START button to enter. In the batch mode, the machine stops counting when the the number of
counted bills reaches the batch setting even though the bills still remain in the Input Hopper.
To deactivate the batch mode, simply press BATCH key, confirming that the batch size displayed on LCD is
disappeared.
Changing Display Contents
The machine provides various information regarding counting results. Every time pressing DISPLAY key, the
display mode is changed sequentially. There are 5 views:
 Piece Display (Simple View) in count mode or while the machine counting.
 Simple View (Amount & piece Display)
 Detail View (Amount & piece Display)
 Piece View (Detail)
 Reject Reason view.

18
Below are some examples of each Display mode.
Simple View (Amount & piece Display) Piece Display only in Count Mode
Detail View (Amount Display & piece Display) Piece View (Detail)

19
In the last example, the picture shows the reasons of the rejected
notes; the first note was rejected by the reason of NO I.D and the
second note was rejected by the reason of SUSPECT, etc.
SUMMARY of the REJECT REASONS
NO I.D. : The machine failed to identify the denomination.
NO READ : The note was not successfully read.
OVERRUN : The next note was fed too close to the first note.
CF : The note was suspected to be a counterfeit.
STAY NOTE : The note was not fit to the condition of sorting.
DOUBLE : More than two pieces of notes were fed into machine
CHAIN : Chain Error
HALF : Half Error
CAUTION
If the reject reason is Chain or Half, the number of the reject note displayed
on LCD can be different with the actual number of notes in the reject pocket.

Grand Total
Grand Total is a total of printed counting amount. When you start
printing the counting result by pressing PRINT key, then the value is
added to Grand total and automatically the machine displays the
number of deposit and G TOTAL. Even though a printer is not
connected, this operation will be done because SB-9 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 check the grand total, press GT key. And you can check
detail by pressing DISPLAY key as shown below pictures. 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 GT or just start another counting job.
