Operating Instructions
1. Counting Coins
The Safescan 6165 can count loose coins, coin rolls, and even integrate with cash drawer coin cups.

- Coin Rolls: Place coin rolls directly onto the platform. The device automatically recognizes the denomination and value of coin rolls for faster counting.
- Cash Drawer Coin Cups: The Safescan 6165 can be custom calibrated for a second coin cup, allowing direct counting from compatible cash drawer coin cups (e.g., Safescan 4141CC and 4617CC).
