\"NickRecently we have been talking about weight-based cash counters, like Tellermate\u2019s T-iX<\/sup>range<\/a>,\u00a0and the benefits they have. For example, they can be of benefit to any business that needs to cut down on the time they spend counting cash and any business looking for more accurate counts.<\/p>\n

For those of you who already have a Tellermate weight-based cash counter, we thought it would be a great idea to share with you some tips on how to get more out of your investment. That’s why we’ve put together 10 tips on how to get more out of your Tellermate cash counters.<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Service Support<\/strong>\"Find<\/p>\n

All Tellermate cash counters come with a standard warranty, or you may want to opt to cover your machines with one of our 3 Tellercover options that give you added extras. But, regardless of whether you are covered or not, the support that you can get from our great customer support team certainly stays the same. Our people know all there is to know about your cash counter and are on hand when you need them if you are confused about how something works or if you have any sort of question. They are even multi-lingual – they can support you in English, French, Spanish or German.<\/p>\n

Tip #2: Counting your coins<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all know that counting coins by hand is an absolute nightmare. Hands up if you have to count them at least 3 times over to get a matching figure. It really is a time wasting exercise! A Tellermate cash counter will totally eliminate the need to recount and in turn, give you your time back! That is if you are using it correctly. Like all machines though, there is a human element to our cash counters and there are guidelines that must be followed. Many perceived \u201cerrors\u201d in counting are really human issues, such as putting a cup of pennies on the money platform when the screen on the cash counter is asking for 50 pence. If you think you have a counting issue, our support team troubleshoot these issues over the phone to get to the bottom of the problem. Just give support a call and most issues can be solved in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

Tip #3: Tellercup or Coin scoop<\/strong><\/p>\n

To count coins on your Tellermate a specific cup made by Tellermate is needed. The weight of these cups are calibrated out of your count, so that only the coins inside the cup are counted.\u00a0 Your Tellermate comes with a Z160 Cup, which is a larger cup that is not put in your tills or Tellercups, that fit in each coin section of your till.\u00a0 To make your coin counting easier, Tellermate has almost 40 different sizes and styles of cups (Tellercups) to fit your tills.Odds are that there is one size that will fit into coin sections of your cash drawer or till.\u00a0 By lifting the cup out of the cash till and placing it on the money platform of your T-iX<\/sup>, you will be able to count all the coins in all the cups in just a few seconds.\u00a0 The greatest time savings are achieved by using the Tellercups, as there are cups for each denomination of coin, allowing for a fast and easy count through your coins.<\/p>\n

A tip to ensure that you get the best count possible is to remember not to leave a Tellercup full of coins, pens or any other items on the money platform when you are not using the money counter as it can lead to accuracy issues.<\/p>\n

Tip #4: Calls to our Customer Support Team<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever been too afraid to call a number because you are worried about the cost?

\"TellermateTip #5:\u00a0A lifeless Tellermate is a sad Tellermate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you believe that some customers revert to counting cash by hand because their cash counting buddy has been hurt?

Tip #6: Different users, different outcomes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We all do things differently. With a Tellermate, a more uniform cash counting process gives more uniform results, in fact a main benefit of our cash counters is that they can drive adhereance to process, by giving every employee the same process of handling cash. \u00a0But, we still know that all people are different and things like where a count takes place or the side of the desk that a counter is placed could differ per user. So to get the most accurate counts out of your cash counter, make sure that the surface that you put it on is flat and stable. Keep your machine away from ventilation devices too as this could well have an effect on your cash count figures.<\/p>\n

Tip #7:\u00a0What goes on top?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When putting notes on your Tellermate cash counter, the machine will tell you if it has an issue with what you put on and will sometimes ask you to remove notes during your count. To optimise accuracy and time, we\u2019d say that it\u2019s a good idea to add to your stack of notes on the money platform in small increments. All notes are different; some have been damaged, some have increased weight due to humidity and our counters are sensitive to these things. By placing the small increments of notes on the money platform at a time you are ensuring you are getting an accurate count, as the cash counter is taking into account the discrepancies due to the weight differences in the notes from dirt or age.<\/p>\n

With the introduction of banknotes reach the UK, they will be far more uniform than our current paper notes so you can add more notes on at once.\"Polymer<\/a><\/span>
