The Auto Sentry Remove operation allows the user to remove bills, coins, or tokens from an Auto Sentry component such as a Bill Acceptor, Bill Dispenser, Coin Acceptor or Coin Hopper. When performing a remove operation the corresponding journal entry needs to be verified by the user as the bills, coins, or tokens should be counted after they are removed and compared to what the Auto Sentry journal receipt shows.
