INITIAL PROGRAMMING DATE / TIME Proper setting of items such as Happy Hour and Not Available times, as well as obtaining viable information regarding Door Openings, Power Outages, etc. depend on a correct DATE/TIME setting. Each machine leaves the factory with the date, and local time (Eastern Standard) entered into the programming. This setting should be checked and changed if necessary.
REGULAR PRICES The capability of this machine to vend a wide variety of products requires the ability to set a wide range of prices. The programming features of this machine meet that requirement by allowing the service technician to quickly and easily enter or change regular prices.
