- MG (Magnetic): Checks for magnetic ink and security threads.
- IR (Infrared): Verifies infrared security features and bill thickness.
- DD (Dimension Detection): Checks for variations in bill dimensions.
- HLF (Half-Note Detection): Identifies bills that are torn or incomplete.
- DBL (Double Note Detection): Identifies when two bills are fed together.
- CHN (Chain Note Detection): Identifies when bills are fed too closely together.
These technologies can be used individually or in combination for maximum accuracy and confidence with every count.
