MAKE BEST CHANGE FEATURE
This allows your machine to operate in a
manner that is easy to understand and results in the least
amount of programming. Your machine will
automatically
figure out the
best change
combination
for each deposited amount, based on the value of the dispenser(s). The
best change combination
is the one that results in the least number of coins dispensed from the machine.
The
make best change
feature is modeled after an actual employee making change. You would
expect them to
automatically
know how many quarters to give out for a $1 bill, how many for a
$20 bill, and so on. Your MC series machine will automatically figure this out as well so you no
longer have to be concerned with the specific dispense programming necessary to accomplish such
a basic function of a change machine.
Additional automatic functionality is also included that will further enhance the owner friendliness
of this machine. For example, if two of the same type coin dispensers are available (example: 2
quarter hoppers), the machine will
automatically
figure out that it should give even amounts out
of each dispenser for each deposit. In addition, if one of the coin dispensers can no longer function
properly, the remaining dispenser will take over and complete the transactions.
The
Make Best Change Feature
is always active. When used in combination with the Forced Vend
Feature you can configure virtually any dispense combination desired. See the “Feature Settings”
section of this manual for an explanation of the Forced Vend Feature.
DEVICE & MACHINE FEATURE DIFFERENCES
DEVICE FEATURES
- Each device (dispenser) is capable of managing its own features and related
functions. These features will be referred to as “
DEVICE
FEATURES
”
.
MACHINE FEATURES
- In addition to managing its own
Device Features
, each device
(dispenser) can also manage
machine features
.
Machine Features
and related functions, are those
that have to do with the overall
machine
, whereby
Device Features
only relate to a specific
device
(module). Examples of
Machine Features
are: Fast Vend Shutoff, Bill Acceptance and Security,
and Automatic Reset. Machine Features are managed by a designated device. This device is called
the Primary Device.
PRIMARY DEVICE
Machine Features
are managed by only one device in the machine. The device that manages these
is referred to as the “PRIMARY DEVICE”. The location where the primary device is mounted
within the machine is identified with a label marked “Primary Device”. All other devices are
considered SECONDARY DEVICES and their locations in the machine are not labeled.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING PRIMARY DEVICE LOCATION:
The factory programming of the “Machine Features” is identical in all devices. This allows ease of replacement should
a new or replacement device be placed in the Primary Device location. Any device can be used as the Primary Device.
However, the new device should contain the correct programming for the desired Machine Features. Therefore, if an
alteration has been made to the factory settings of the device that is removed, the replacement device should also
contain the desired Machine Feature programming. Be sure to program the desired Machine Features into the new
module before placing the machine back into service.
