6.3. Single Denomination Value Counting

This machine is designed for single denomination value counting, meaning it does not recognize mixed denominations automatically. To count the value of a specific denomination:

1. Press the 'Denom' button to select the desired denomination (e.g., $10, $20, $100).
2. Feed the banknotes of that specific denomination into the hopper. The machine will count the number of bills and calculate the total value based on the selected denomination.

6.4. Add Mode

In Add mode, the machine accumulates the total count of bills across multiple batches. This is useful for counting large volumes of cash that exceed the hopper capacity or for combining counts from different stacks.
