MAINTENANCE Your Jamex Vending System requires occasional cleaning of the bill acceptor, coin changer, and card reader. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment and amount of use. Debris can be dropped into the coin slot by patrons and cause coin jams. Instructions for clearing jams are listed here.
• Press up on the release tab at the bottom of the bill acceptor. • While holding the release, Pull the Bill Path Plate towards you. • Use a lint free cloth lightly moistened with water to remove dust from rollers and optic sensors.
Cleaning The Jamex 7800 Stored Value Card Reader Your card reader uses a read/write head to read and write the data encoded on the magnetic stripe of the card. This read/write head will collect dust and dirt or simply wear out. If the read/write head is not cleaned regularly you will see mis-reads, mis-writes and premature wear.
TROUBLESHOOTING This section has troubleshooting steps to resolve many common issues. For charging or copier ready issues, double check your price settings. You may need to contact your dealer. A technician will know the required copier settings and have the test tools to troubleshoot. Provide your tech with the installation guide that shipped with your vend station.
Another cause could be a failed Jamex board. Change may have been loaded properly but the Jamex board did not track it to the tube meter. Be sure change has been properly loaded. Drop in a quarter and press coin return.
Clearing Coin Jams On A five Tube Changer The diagnostic panel on a 5 tube changer may look like this. Do not press the function buttons unless instructed to by Jamex support. If the "DIS" LED is blinking, this indicates Acceptor release latch a coin jam in the changer.
If a bill is rejected quickly or is not pulled in all the way it is possible the bill acceptor's sensors have failed and it needs to be replaced. First review the video "How to clean a bill acceptor in a Jamex 9550 8200 or 6500 series" in the support section at jamexvending.com If this only happens with 5 dollar bills, older bill acceptors may not be programmed to accept the latest 5 dollar bill pattern.
Be cautious when troubleshooting power supply problems. If you are uncertain about any steps listed below, contact your dealer or Jamex support. Older Jamex square power supplies did not have an LED but they may have reset buttons on each side to try. That power supply has been discontinued.

The vend station usually works correctly even without a display. If you are still having an issue you'll need to check the display connection on the Jamex main board to see if the multicolored ribbon cable is properly connected. Use caution when connecting the cable as the pins are easily bent.
Jamex USB devices require a driver to function. Look in Windows Device Manager under "Ports (COM and LPT) and verify there is a Jamex USB Serial Port with a COM number. The driver can be found at www.jamexvending.com/downloads/drivers Note: Jamex equipment manufactured with a USB port prior to April of 2014 will use the legacy driver.
