The maximum number of One Time Use codes that can be used is twenty.
Step 1
– Identify the
number
of different codes to be accepted.
Step down into the menu until you see [maximum number] on the top line of the display and [of
codes] on the bottom line. Enter the number of different codes you plan to use. Up to 20 different
codes can be used. Setting this to zero will bypass setting up codes.
Step down in the menu after answering this question.
Step 2
- Setup a custom name for all of the One Time Use codes. The default
name
assigned to the
OTU codes is the same as the
generic label
. Changing the name can make it easier to distinguish one
code discount from another when you are viewing the associated Promotion Audit. The audit totals
will be listed under the
name
of the discount type, not the
generic label
. The top line of the display
will now show [OTU code], which is the
generic label
for this discount. The generic label cannot be
changed, The bottom line of the display will show [OTU]. The cursor will be flashing under the first
character of the
name
. You can now change the name using the text entry method.
Press the down button to go to the next step.
Step 3
– Create the code number.
The display will show the code name you entered in step 2 on the top line and the bottom line will
show [# # # #]. Enter the code number to be used. The code can only include numbers, no characters
or symbols. The user code numbers can have as few as one number or as many as six numbers in the
code. We recommend the code length be at least four digits long. This is also where you can see if the
code has been used.
Press the down button to enter the next code.

Promotion Settings
An effective promotion can help you increase revenue. An effective promotion will provide the user
with either a discount that can be applied toward the purchase of one or more of the wash packages
you intend to promote, or with the ability to direct a “charitable contribution” toward a charity that
you are collecting funds for. Multiple promotions can be offered during the same time period. When
designing the promotion keep in mind that you can quickly check the effectiveness of a promotion by
viewing the Promotion Audit Report associated with each promotion. It is helpful to give each
promotion a different name so you can view the report associated with each promotion. Example: you
can run a code based promotion and advertise it on a billboard at the same time you are running a
code based promotion that is being advertised through a mass mailer coupon company. By using
separate codes for each promotion you can determine which one is most effective by viewing the
report for each promotion. Your distributor is a good source for help in developing a successful
promotion. They can also assist in setting up any advertising that will be presented at the machine,
i.e., the Welcome Prompt advertisement.
