Cashmaster Omega “2000” Operating Instructions

The CASHMASTER cash scale is used to count loose coins, bills and rolled coins. Once familiar with the use of the Cashmaster, the average time to count cash will be greatly reduced. As you prepare to use the Cashmaster there are several key points for you to be aware of: Counting Cash When using the Cashmaster to count bills and coins, ensure that you do not mix denominations. For example, before you place a stack of $5.00 bills on the Cashmaster ensure that there are no other denominations mixed in. (Just as when your counting by hand) The Cashmaster has been designed to count and calibrate automatically. In order to use the Cashmaster correctly bills must be placed on the bill hopper in small slices. Initially you will notice that the number of bills placed on the bill hopper will be quite small up to 10 or so bills. This number will gradually increase to allow you to place as many as 20-25 bills at one time. If you place too many bills on the Cashmaster at one time you will be given a message “too many remove some”. You do not have to remove all of the bills; just remove a few bills until the display indicates the count. You can now continue to place bills on the Cashmaster.


Counting Loose Coins

The Omega “2000” comes with a loose coin scoop (optional till cup inserts may also be ordered). After the loose coin scoop has been calibrated, (see Operational Procedures page at the end of this manual) you are ready to count loose coins. Note* There are several different versions of pennies that have been produced over the years with different weights due to the materials used to manufacture them. As a result, you may experience some slight differences when counting pennies; however the benefit gained from the reduced time taken to count far out weighs these slight differences. When the Cashmaster is in the loose coin mode the display will indicate the denomination to place in the loose coin scoop. Place the scoop on the Cashmaster and put that particular denomination in the scoop. When the empty scoop is placed on the Cashmaster the display will indicate “0.00” on the upper right side, this will confirm that the weight of the loose coin scoop has been correctly entered into the Omega “2000”. If the display indicates a value, calibration of the loose coin scoop should be performed as outlined in operational procedures at the end of this manual. To count loose coins simply place them in the loose coin scoop, the display will increment to show the number of coins and the dollar value. When you have finished a particular denomination remove the loose coin scoop from the Cashmaster and empty the loose coins out. The Cashmaster will automatically advance to the next denomination to be counted. You may select any denomination by simply depressing one of the coin denomination keys.

Counting Rolled Coins

There are two (2) ways to count rolled coins.

Entering total dollar value

1. When in the rolled coin mode, the “Rolls” will be displayed. Using the key pad enter the total dollar value of the rolled coin using the keypad. When the dollar value has been entered, press the <enter> key to put the total into memory. If the Omega “2000” is equipped with a printer, this dollar value will display as a separate line saying rolled coin keyed on the audit tape.

Enter Dollar Value Via Numeric Keypad:

2. To enter the value of rolled coins via the numeric keypad when in the verify roll mode press the + key. Use the up and down arrow key under the coin section to select the denomination. Enter the quantity of rolls you have for this denomination. The screen will say Enter Quantity and then press the enter key. To enter another denomination, repeat this process.

Counting Non-Cash items:

Press the <Decimal> key to enter the non-cash menu. Press the <Decimal> key until you have selected the category you desire.

1. Enter the dollar value you wish for this category. If you have more items for this category continue to enter the dollar value
2. To select another category, press the <Decimal> key to select that category
3. Once all of the non-cash items are entered, press the Bill Bundle key to return the main counting menu.
   

Making Corrections/Subtracting:

To subtract, press the denomination you wish to subtract from, press the <CE> key. This will remove the dollar value for this denomination from the totals. None of the other denomination will be affected.

Subtracting amounts with the Omega 2000

Important:

Each time you turn on your scale, it will be pre-programmed to zero out the weight of the till cup. There may be an occasion where you will be required to zero out the weight of the till cup yourself. Such an occasion might be if you change to a different register system with new till cups (i.e. IBM to Panasonic) or receive a new programming chip from the manufacturer, etc. Listed below are instructions to zero out your till cup. Once this is done, you should not need to perform this function again.

1. Turn off unit. Press the <+> and < -> key and tap the <I/O> key. MAKE SURE TO CONTINUE TO HOLD THE <+> and < -> until the screen says: Enter Switches
2. Press the loose coin arrow key until the machine says Calibration
3. Press the < +> key until the machine says Calibrate Cup
4. Press the loose coin arrow key until the machine says Calibrate Scoop
5. Put the empty scoop on the Scale
6. Follow the instructions and then press the <I/O> key
   

To quickly check that your Omega is programmed for your type of scoop:

1. Turn the machine on and it will say “Scoop” should be displayed in the top ride.
2. Place an empty till cup/scoop on the cash tray.
3. If the display shows $0.00 value and zero (0) pieces, you till cup/scoop
   

Weight is correctly programmed.
