(and local network). Other interfaces do not support this download feature. Down- loads in this case can be completed with any personal computer (PC or laptop) and a CashCode adapter. (The Validator must be temporarily disconnected from the host controller).
In cases where the combination of features selected by the user is not possible, the user will receive a message that the part number does not exist – and a letter to the CashCode Engineering department will be generated. This system was choosen because the total number of all possible part combinations can reach up to 70,000! As a result, part numbers are assigned gradually when an actual request is received.
