HOW TO PROGRAM YOUR GUARDIAN
Overview of Owner Interface
The
Owner Interface
features allow you to navigate through the various programming and reporting
menus and reset the machine from error conditions. The User Keypad (pin pad), User Selection
(package selection) Buttons and User Display located on the front of the machine will be used to
navigate through the various Main Menu features available.
Overview of Settings & Report Menu Items
There are a variety of menu items available. Each main menu item will be either a SETTING or a
REPORT menu. Settings are nothing more than system parameters that can be used to establish the
machine behavior. Settings will typically relate to the hardware modules that you have purchased.
For example, the “Bills Accepted Settings” menu relates to the bill acceptor and can be used to set the
bill denominations to be accepted. As a result you can change the acceptance and security behaviors
of the machine.
Reports allow you to view records that are stored in the machine. These records are useful for
accounting and troubleshooting. See the sections titled “Report Menus” and “Settings Menus” for an
explanation of the benefits of each. Each setting type or report type can be viewed (on user display)
or printed (on receipt printer).
Overview of Error Messages
If an error was detected in the machine the error condition will be the first thing displayed as you
enter the Main Menu. If multiple errors have occurred the display will rotate through the errors. If
you press the right or left arrow button you will be in the Main Menu.
Hint – you can also view the
machine errors and events by accessing the Event Report menu item.
See the section of this
manual titled Event Reports for more detail. For information regarding the errors, see the section of
this manual titled Troubleshooting.

Accessing the Main Menu
Enter the Main Menu by pressing both red buttons simultaneous for at least 3 seconds and then
release them. See the decal (below) located on the main control panel for the location of the two red
buttons.
Note – you can return to the Main Menu screen at any time by pressing the CANCEL/REFUND
button one or more times. Once in the Main Menu you will either see the first
main menu
item or you
will see one or more errors that were issued by the machine. If you see errors you will need to clear
them. See the Troubleshooting section of this manual before proceeding.
Find the desired Setting or Report by pressing the RIGHT (forward) arrow button. To view the
previous main menu, item simply press the LEFT (back) arrow. Once you have found the desired
setting or report, you can then go
down
into the
Details List
for this item to view additional details
related to it. Note – the main menu headings are in CAPS (all capitalized letters).
