NTRODUCTION
The primary purpose of this Section of the manual is todescribe the procedures for: (1) Remov-
ing and replacing note cassettes, (2) Loading cassettes, and (3) Removing and replacing the Re-
ject Vault. Information concerning genreral operation of the note dispensing mechanism, note
handling and quality issues are explained where appropriate.

ECHANISM
The Multi-Cassette Cash Dispensers discussed in this manual use a friction-feed dispensing mecha-
nism to store and deliver notes and other media to the customer. The mechanism is located in the
lower security container of the unit. It holds multiple Note Cassettes and a single Reject Vault.
Under software control, the dispensing mechanism delivers the appropriate number of notes from
the Note Cassettes to fulfill a customer’s withdrawal request. The purpose of the Reject Vault is to
accept and hold notes that have been transferred from the Note Cassettes but not dispensed. Some
situations that could cause the mechanism to reject notes are: (1) Multiple notes stuck together and
(2) Note width too short or long. Other conditions that could cause a reject are described in the next
section.
The mechanism is able to reject single notes or bundles. A bundle reject occurs when more than
one note is rejected at the same time. There are two compartments within the Reject Vault to keep
notes in these two categories separated. The top compartment within the cassette can hold a maxi-
mum of 200 bundle-notes; the lower compartment can hold up to 50 single-note rejects.
IMPORTANT! The first time the dispenser is set up, or if a new Note Cassette is installed, the
mechanism will enter a learning mode, during which it will reject 7-15 notes as it learns the
thickness of the currency or other media. In such cases, it is recommended that you remove any
rejected notes from the unit before placing the Cash Dispenser into service.

ONDITION
If possible, store currency at room temperature for at least eight hours before dispensing from the
cassettes.
The number of rejects can be directly influenced by the technique used to load the cassettes and the
quality of the currency. Notes loaded into the cassettes must be in “fit” condition if a high level of
performance (low reject and failure rate) is expected from the unit. “Fit” notes are defined as those
that do not possess any of the defects listed here:
