Frequently Asked Questions
Q) Does the machine add (e.g. if I put 20 $20 bills, will the machine give a count of 20, or indicate a total of $400)?
A) Yes, this machine scans and gives the total value of the bills, along with a count of the bills too, which is a feature many of our competitors do not offer. In your example, the machine screen would read “COUNT 20 AMOUNT $400”. Afterwards, there is also a reporting panel that will display the # of each bill that was scanned, along with serial numbers (if available) on another report as well.
Q) Does this machine count up to a certain number for easy bundling? For example, would I be able to put in 100 bills and have it shoot out 50 at a time to bundle?
A) Yes, simply turn on the BATCH mode and select the amount you would like to bundle.
Q) How many bills can you put in at one time?
A) Up to 500 in the hopper, and the output tray will hold up to 200 bills at a time.
Q) Does it work for bills other than US Dollars?
A) Yes. Our machine can count USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), GBP (British pound), CAD (Canadian Dollar), and MXN (Mexican Peso)
Q) Can this machine detect counterfeit bills?
A) Yes. Our machine uses CIS/UV/MG/and IR for the most thorough
counterfeit detection on the market.
Product Tips
Calibrating your machine is upon delivery is very important and ensures that you have the most hassle-free experience when reading bills.
Please follow our helpful video online on how to do so by visiting: video.promnico.com
Other important product tips:
- Turn off the machine if you are not using it.
- Regularly cleaning of the sensors is not required but may help if they have become dirty from use. Please see the “maintenance” section for more details.
- Make sure to select MDC mode if you are dealing with mixed denominations, which is not on by default.
- Make sure to select CNT mode if you are only interested in the number of bills or are bundling cash.
- SDC will take the first note read as the benchmark, and then stop when a different bill has been detected – use this to help sort your cash or to be sure you aren’t bundling mixed bills.

Control Panel Overview
Operation Modes
MDC Mode (Most Popular): Counts mixed denomination bills. Press REPORT button to check the bill details when finished.
CNT Mode: Only reads number of bills. In this mode, you can switch on ADD or BATCH or ADD+BATCH.
SDC Mode: Counts first note read as benchmark, then stops when a different bill has been detected. Useful for sorting bills.
Maintenance
Please turn off the machine and unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use. To clean the sensors (note-feeding sensor, note-receiving sensor, and counting sensors located in the back-middle cover), please use a dry soft nylon brush. A brand new, soft unused paintbrush from a local craft-store works best to clean the sensors.

How to Enable/Disable Auto-Start Mode
Your money counter may by default have auto-start mode enabled. Autostart mode simply means that the counter will begin reading bills when it has detected new bills in the hopper.
If you’d like to turn off this feature, and only have the machine start when the “START/STOP” button is pressed, simply press and hold the Up arrow
on the money counter. To revert back to auto-start mode, repeat these steps.
Changing Counterfeit Detection Level
There are 4 modes of intensity regarding counterfeit detection. Each one is represented by a bar as shown below on the top right of the money counter display:
- 0 bars = No Detection
- 1 bar = Low Detection
- 2 bars = Moderate Detection (default)
- 3 bars = High Detection
You can change the level of detection by pressing and holding the left and right arrows
