3. Operating Modes

The BC-40 offers various operating modes to suit different counting needs. Navigate through these modes using the touch panel.

3.1 MIX Mode (Mixed Denomination Counting)

In MIX mode, the machine counts all denominations of a currency simultaneously. The total quantity and amount will be displayed. This mode is ideal for processing mixed batches of banknotes.

3.2 SDC Mode (Single Denomination Counting)

SDC mode is used for counting single denomination banknotes. If a different denomination is detected, the machine will stop and alert the user.

3.3 Auto Recognition Mode

This mode automatically recognizes the currency and denomination of the first banknote placed in the hopper and proceeds to count the rest accordingly.

3.4 Multi-Currency Mixed Counting

The BC-40 supports mixed counting for up to four currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, JPY). This feature allows for efficient processing of international transactions.

3.5 Piece Count Mode

This mode counts the number of banknotes without regard to their denomination, providing a simple piece count.

3.6 Batch Mode

Set a desired batch quantity, and the machine will stop counting once that number of banknotes has been processed. This is useful for preparing specific bundles of cash.

3.7 Accumulation Mode

In accumulation mode, the machine adds the current count to the previous count, allowing for continuous counting of large volumes of banknotes across multiple batches.
