Pulse per copy
This parameter enables you to set a certain quantity of pulses to send out to
an auxiliary device connected in your Vend Station. The perfect example of
such a device would be a keypad pulse type control device. That device
connects into the Vend Station, which in turn connects to the copier. This
way, when the auxiliary device gets activated, the Vend Station knows about
it, preventing the insertion of money and counting the copies in the appropri-
ate counter. With the a color multifunction copiers, you can set the Vend
Station to send more than one pulse for each type of copy. The best exam-
ple would be: Letter/legal B&W 1 pulse; Ledger B&W 2 pulses; Letter/legal
color 3 pulses; Ledger color 4 pulses.
On the display, you will see this information:
P1 and P2 refer to an auxiliary device having two input lines. Most equip-
ment on the market only have one input line. Therefore, using P1 only sets
the number of pulses you wish the Vend Station to be sending to the device.
The pulse signal from the Vend Station to the device is 100 ms ON, 100ms
OFF or 5 pulses per second maximum. Please refer to Annex 1 at the end.
Minimum deposit
Minimum deposit is a feature that sometimes is necessary on some copiers,
black & white or colour, or offering duplex.
Some copiers send the colour and/or duplex signal while it is printing instead
of sending it before the process starts. It is then impossible to stop the print-
ing in case of insufficient funds. In such a case, the only way to counteract
the problem is requesting the customer to insert enough credits to cover all
prices possibilities. If the copy costs less than the minimum deposit, change
is given back.
You have the choice between NONE, FIXED AMOUNT or NUMBER of
COPIES. Fixed amount will enable the copier only when that amount has
been inserted. Number of copies will enable the copier only when the
amount inserted is equal to the highest price of a copy times the number you
entered (i.e. 15¢ x 2 = enables copier at 30¢). Most of the time, a fixed
amount is used and that amount must be equal to the highest vend price
programmed in the coin-op (i.e. B&W 10¢, colour 50¢ = minimum deposit
50¢).
