INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the cassettes used in the NCR Cash Acceptor and Recycler when
installed in NCR ATMs. It provides operation, configuration and maintenance information
and is intended for use by personnel who unload, load and configure these cassettes.
DESCRIPTION
The NCR cash acceptor and recycler cassettes are portable containers moulded in high
impact polycarbonate. They are designed to store and, under the control of the parent
sub‐system, release currency.
Cassette Variants
The following are the cassette variants according to functionality:
Deposit (has blue front)
Recycle (has grey front)
The cassette may also be categorised according to currency dimensions:
Type A (has a green handle)—for currencies with wide notes
Type B (has a blue handle)—for currencies with narrow notes
Enhanced (has a blue handle)—used for recycle only
The enhanced recycler cassette may be configured into the following settings:
Narrow setting (default)
Wide setting
Special narrow setting
Type ‘A’ cassettes must be used with type ‘A’ cash acceptor/cash recycler modules, and
type ‘B’ cassettes must be used with type ‘B’ cash acceptor/cash recycler modules.
Enhanced Recycle cassettes may be used in either module because their width is
configurable.
Type A Deposit Cassette Type A Recycle Cassette Type B Deposit Cassette Type B Recycle Cassette Enhanced Recycle Cassette

Cassette Sizes
Cassette sizes are as follows:
Note Sensing
Both types of cassette have note sensing and will indicate full and empty conditions to
the parent system as appropriate.
Currency Sizes
The cassettes can be mechanically adjusted to hold currency of the sizes indicated below.
In addition, electro–mechanical adjustment provides up to sixteen different cassette
identification codes.

Power Requirements
None.
4. Pull the bottom of the lid latch away from the body of the cassette.
5. Lift the latch up a small amount then pull the top of the latch away from the cassette.
7. Raise the lid past the vertical position then unhook it from the metal hinge lugs at the
front of the cassette body. Remove the lid completely from the cassette body.
CAUTION
Make sure that the stage is firmly held in the rear position while
removing currency from the cassette.
1. Place the cassette on a suitable flat surface. Firmly support the rear of the cassette
with one hand.
2. Placing your fingers into the stage as shown below, pull it all the way to the rear of the
cassette.
3. Hold the stage at the rear of the cassette whilst removing the currency.
4. When all currency has been removed gently allow the stage to return to the home
position at the front of the cassette.
Note Stage
Some early models of the cash acceptor and recycler have recycler cassettes that do not
have the stage latch. If your recycler cassette is of this type then operate the stage as
defined in Stage Operation for Deposit Cassettes.
2. Placing your fingers into the stage as shown below, pull it all the way to the rear of the
cassette until the stage latch clicks.
Note: Do not press the stage latch release situated in the stage as this will prevent
the stage from latching correctly.
3. Make sure the latch clicks and the stage is held in the rear position before removing
your hand.
2. Place the thumb of your free hand on the outside rear of the cassette and take hold of
the note stage, placing your fingers into the stage as shown below.
Squeeze slightly to relieve the spring tension on the note stage. Take care not to press
the note stage latch release before you have a firm grip on the stage.
3. While maintaining the hold on the stage press the green stage latch release with your
middle finger.
4. Gently allow the stage to slide to the front of the cassette. If there is currency in the
cassette ensure that it has not been trapped under the stage.
1. Holding the lid in a vertical position, hook the front of the lid onto the metal hinge
lugs on the front of the cassette body then close the lid.
4. Pull the latch down and then press towards the cassette body until it clicks into the
locked position.
5. Replace the latch seal (if fitted) according to your in house procedures.
6. Lock the key lock (if fitted) on the cassette lid and remove the key.
Note: The key can only be removed when the cassette is locked.
Replenishment
Preparing Currency
Before loading the currency into a recycler cassette it must be prepared as described in
the following sections.
Used Currency
Used currency should be prepared by holding a bundle of approximately 100 notes in
one hand and separating out with the other. While separating out, the currency should
be checked for obvious defects such as:
Adhesive tape on the surface of the currency.
Staples, pins or any foreign matter attached to the currency.
Torn or limp notes with pin holes.
Note: Bad currency preparation may impair the performance of the module.
Loading a Cassette
Load a cassette as follows:
1. Open the cassette.
2. Slide the note stage all the way to the rear of the cassette until it latches.
3. Align the edges of the notes in both planes by holding a bundle loosely between the
fingers and thumbs of both hands and tapping lightly on a flat surface, then tapping
the note ends.
4. Raise the front of the cassette to ease loading. For example, stand the cassette at an
angle against a wall.
5. Load the notes into the cassette.
CAUTION
Do not overload the cassette. There are two green markers that
indicate the maximum fill level. Do not fill beyond the green section
of the markers.
Note1: For notes bowed along their length, load the cassette with alternate packs/
bundles of 100 notes as shown, and make sure that any bowed notes are loaded with the
bow towards the stage.
Note 2: For notes bowed across their width. load the cassette with alternate bundles of
100 notes as shown, and make sure that the bow is pointing away from the stage.
Unloading a Cassette
Unloading a cassette is a reversal of the loading procedure. Refer to Basic Operations for
details of cassette opening, closing and note stage operation.
Removal and replacement procedures for this device. May need to cover more than one
terminal.

Media Widths
The note guides should be set to accommodate the widest media that is to be used.
Spacers can be cut for media widths of 60 mm to 86 mm. All the spacers for a cassette
should be cut to the same size.
4. Cut each spacer at the required segment using a small hacksaw. Remove any burrs
after cutting.
