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 Cassette.
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 Cassette 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:
• Multiple notes stuck together
• Note width too short or long
• Notes skewed in feed path
• Notes too close together in feed path
• Notes not claimed by customer (after a preset timeout the mechanism will retract the notes
and send them to the reject cassette).
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 Cassette to
keep notes in these two categories separated. The top compartment within the cassette can hold a
maximum 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. With multiple cassettes installed the number of test re-
jects could almost fill the single-note compartment of the Reject Cassette. In such cases, it is rec-
ommended that you remove any rejected notes from the unit before placing the Cash Dispenser
back 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 mechanism 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:
