6.2 Using Quickload Coin Tubes for Wrapping

The C300 features Quickload coin tubes for efficient coin wrapping.

1. Insert Wrappers: Place preformed coin wrappers into the corresponding Quickload tubes. Ensure the wrappers are fully seated.
2. Count Coins: Follow the basic counting steps (Section 6.1). Coins will automatically fill the wrappers.
3. Remove Full Wrappers: Once a wrapper is full, it can be easily removed from the bottom of the tube. The Quickload system allows for quick replacement with a new wrapper without interrupting the sorting process for other denominations.

6.3 Using Coin Bins

When not wrapping coins, the C300 sorts coins into individual bins.

1. Install Bins: Ensure coin bins are correctly placed in their slots. The flush design with magnetic hold prevents accidental spills.
2. Count Coins: Follow the basic counting steps (Section 6.1). Coins will be sorted into the appropriate bins.
3. Empty Bins: Periodically empty the bins as they fill to prevent overflow and ensure continuous operation.
