Dust, paper fibers and residue from circulated banknotes can accumulate in the banknote passing channel, counting wheels and sensor areas. Over time, this buildup may contribute to feeding errors, miscounts or image-recognition warnings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">This guide explains a practical routine for cleaning a money counter with a soft brush and a cleaning card. It also explains when a CIS calibration sheet may be required. The exact access points, cleaning mode and calibration procedure vary by machine model, so always follow the relevant product manual before opening or adjusting the equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Safety first<\/span>: Switch off and unplug the machine before opening the rear cover. Do not use water, oil, solvents or sharp tools inside the machine. Do not touch sensor surfaces with your fingers.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Direct Answer: How Do You Clean a Money Counter?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">For routine maintenance, use two methods:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Open the rear cover and gently remove dust from the banknote passing channel, CIS and UV sensor areas, magnetic heads and related components with a soft brush.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Feed a money-counter cleaning card through the hopper and banknote path. Repeat the pass several times, replacing or turning the card as needed, until the card comes out clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If the machine reports that the CIS needs cleaning, or if image-recognition errors continue after routine cleaning, use the CIS calibration paper supplied for the machine and follow the model-specific instructions in the user manual.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 id=\"what-you-need\"><strong>What You Need<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">A soft, dry brush<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">A suitable money-counter cleaning card<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The machine user manual<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The model-specific CIS calibration paper, if required<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3289\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/32189cddca0854845ae57db58b751ea2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/32189cddca0854845ae57db58b751ea2.png 800w, https:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/32189cddca0854845ae57db58b751ea2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/32189cddca0854845ae57db58b751ea2-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3290\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/e754ed87afca40c23e829dd3e0182388.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/e754ed87afca40c23e829dd3e0182388.png 664w, https:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/e754ed87afca40c23e829dd3e0182388-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3287\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/690662b8ea30464af6d851a2bcdb7e87.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/690662b8ea30464af6d851a2bcdb7e87.png 1448w, https:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/690662b8ea30464af6d851a2bcdb7e87-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bcash.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/690662b8ea30464af6d851a2bcdb7e87-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5 id=\"1-clean-the-banknote-passing-channel-with-a-brush\"><strong>1.
