PAYMENT SEQUENCE: This refers to when the payment is required; before the product is selected or
afterward. The options are Pre-Pay, Post-Pay or Both.
x
Pre-Pay means that the user must either “swipe card” or “insert cash” before they make the
Selection. This payment sequence is common in snack and soda machines.
x
Post-Pay means that the user will be required to make the Selection prior to providing payment.
x
Both means the user can go either way. This method will result in the least amount of user
confusion since some users are used to paying first then selecting; while others are used to
selecting first and then paying.
SELECTION PRICE AND PAYOUT : There are up to four selection prices available, one for each button
on the machine. Each has an associated dispense amount. These were identified at the time of order
and programmed into the machine at the factory. These were also printed on the placard that the user
will see on the front of the machine.
Note: When considering Credit Card selection “value” and “dispense” Packages – you do not want to
accept a credit card payment for a $1, or low priced selection, as the associated processing fees may
not allow a profit on the transaction.
1.9 Pulse Vend Settings
This section applies to a machine equipped with the Select
Module and when the machine type is set to “PULSE”.
The Pulse Select is centered on using one type/value of a non-
cash dispenser.
The Pulse Select mode will allow the user to pay for the vend
level with either cash or credit.
Use the Pulse Vend menu to set the Value (price) for each
incremental vend level up to 20 selections. The pulse amount
or vend level is the number of items that will be dispensed for
the value that you enter. This allows you to adjust the
Value of
the items dispensed for every possibility. If you do not want to
allow the vend of a particular amount, make the
Value $0.00
and the user will not see it as a selection. The Pulse Select
comes with a
More , Vend and Cancel buttons. The user uses
the More button to select the number of items he wants to
purchase. The Vend button is pressed by the user when he has
reached the vend level that he wants. He will then be prompted
to insert money or if there is enough money the vend will
occur.
Additional settings for payment type and timeout selections for this feature are also available in this
menu. Timeout refers to the amount of time the machine will remain idle before automatically
canceling the transaction in progress.
