PRODUCT NAME:SC Advance PRODUCT TYPE:Bill Validator MANUFACTURER:MEI BOOTH NUMBER:4060 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: MEI will be introducing the new SC Advance, the latest version of its bill validator, which the manufac- turer believes will further raise the bar of performance expectations in the metrics that matter most – acceptance, jam rate, security and cost of operation – driving improvements in both the player experi- ence and operator profitability. SC Advance is the next generation product of Cashflow SC, the success of which has seen more than 1m units produced. The new version brings an improved recogni- tion system, which provides proactive secu- rity by using transmissive sensors to see all the way through notes in multiple wave- lengths. It also features faster bill-to-bill speed, which upgrades the player experi- ence and speeds up transactions to expand throughput. Its expanded memory limits part numbers and submissions by allowing more notes to be recognised in a specific release


of firmware. It now has comprehensive barcode recognition, which processes barcode coupons in all four directions and improves acceptance on multi-width curren- cies. It has also been upgraded to USB 2.0, which speeds up communications with the host machine and even potentially expands functionality. Because the enhance- ments are all located in the acceptor head, SC Advance can work hand-in-hand with existing Cashflow SC units already in the field. Intelligent support tools will be able to sense the product version and provide the appropriate soft- ware. SC Advance not only is compat- ible with previous


versions, but also with product extensions that have expanded the reach of bill acceptors from the slot machine to the entire cash management process. Easitrax Soft Count, as an example, has changed rapidly the expectations for what a bill accep- tor can offer – building an installed base over 50,000 games in 18 months by improving effi- ciencies associated with the cash drop process.
