3.1 Initial Power Connection

Before connecting the power, ensure the machine's power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the provided power cord to the machine and then to a suitable power outlet.

3.2 Adjusting the Feeding Gap

Proper adjustment of the feeding gap is crucial for smooth operation and to prevent bill jams. The feeding gap thickness wheel is located on the side of the machine.

Figure 3: Illustration of the feeding gap adjustment wheel.

• If the hopper is too loose (notes feed too easily or multiple notes feed), tighten the wheel by toggling it towards the "+" sign. This is suitable for new or thinner notes.
• If the hopper is too tight (notes jam or do not feed), loosen the wheel by toggling it towards the "-" sign. This is suitable for used or thicker notes.
• It is advised to adjust the wheel to the middle position for initial setup.
• Perform trial and error attempts to find the optimal adjustment for your specific banknotes before making a final adjustment.
