4.1 Count Mode

This is the default mode. The machine will count the total number of bills placed in the hopper. Counterfeit detection is active in this mode.

• Place a stack of bills into the hopper.
• The machine will automatically start counting (if in Auto mode) or press 'START' (if in Manual mode).
• The total count will be displayed on the screen.

4.2 Add Mode

In Add mode, the machine keeps a running tally of all bills counted across multiple batches. This is useful for summing large quantities of cash.

• Press the 'ADD' button to activate Add mode.
• Count your first stack of bills. The total will be displayed.
• Place subsequent stacks into the hopper. The machine will add the new count to the previous total.
• Press 'CLEAR' to reset the accumulated total.

4.3 Batch Mode

Batch mode allows you to count bills into specific, pre-set quantities.

• Press the 'BAT' (Batch) button.
• Use the number pad or '+' / '-' buttons to set the desired batch quantity (e.g., 100 bills).
• Place bills into the hopper. The machine will count until the batch quantity is reached, then pause.
• Remove the counted batch and press 'START' to continue counting the next batch from the remaining bills.

4.4 Add + Batch Mode

This mode combines the functionalities of Add and Batch modes, allowing you to create batches while simultaneously maintaining a running total of all bills counted.

• Activate both 'ADD' and 'BAT' modes.
• Set your desired batch quantity.
• The machine will count bills into batches, pausing at the set quantity, while the 'ADD' display continuously updates the grand total.
