ANUAL
Introduction
The purpose of this section of the manual is
to describe the procedures for: (1) removing
and replacing note cassettes, (2) loading cas-
settes, and (3) removing and replacing the
reject notes (as applicable). Information
concerning note handling and quality issues
are explained where appropriate.

ECHANISM
The FT5000 ATM uses an NMD-100, fric-
tion-feed dispensing mechanism
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 re-
quest. The purpose of the reject cas-
sette is to accept and hold notes that
have been transferred from the note cas-
settes but not dispensed. Some situa-
tions 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 cus-
tomer (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 compart-
ments within the reject cassette to keep
notes in these two categories separated.
The top compartment within the cassette
can hold a maximum of 250 bundle-notes;
the lower compartment can hold up to
100 single-note rejects.
IMPORTANT! The first time the dis-
penser is set up, or if a new note cas-
sette is installed, the mechanism will en-
ter a learning mode, during which it will
reject 7-15 notes as it learns the thick-
ness of the currency or other media. With
multiple cassettes installed, the number
of test rejects could almost fill the single-
note compartment of the reject cassette.
In such cases, it is recommended that
you remove any rejected notes from the
unit before placing the ATMback into
service.

ONDITION
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:
**WARNING**
DO NOT RECYCLE REJECTED
NOTES INTO A CASSETTE!
Doing so could cause more rejects
and/or currency jams.
