Maxim 8400 will freely dispense, no problem. If you put money in and press a column button the display goes blank and will not dispense.

A blank screen and failure to dispense when a column button is pressed could be caused by a ticket jam or the inventory reaching zero. Running an inventory report can help diagnose the issue.
