For starters, lets do a quick self test on the BV to see if it will accept.
Pull the BV out and turn on 1,2,3,4 & 8. Now slide it back in and (here's the hard part) turn off number 8. This will put the BV in self test mode. It should cycle and accept and stack bills. If not, try calibrating the unit. If it does accept, then there might be a communication problem between the BV and the machine.
