The batch function allows you to count bills into specific quantities. For example, setting a batch of 100 will stop the machine after 100 bills are counted.

If the machine detects an anomaly, such as a different denomination in a single-denomination count mode or a suspected counterfeit, it will stop and display an error message. For example, a "DENOMINATION ERROR" indicates a bill of an unexpected denomination was detected.
