5.The value of "X.XX" has two purposes:

a.It tells the machine how large a bill or coin to accept even though there is not enough change in the coin mech to cover all possible paybacks.

For example, enter 1.00. The machine will take a dollar bill or coin even though there is less than $1.00's worth of change. Entering 5.00 tells the machine to take a five even though there is less than $5.00's worth of change, and so forth.

NOTE

This could cause a customer to be short-changed.

Entering 0.00 means that bills or coins will only be accepted if there is enough change to cover them.

b.The value of "X.XX" also tells the machine how much the customer is allowed to overbuy a product. The customer will be short-changed when an overbuy occurs.

Example:

For a value of $0.25: if there is no change in the machine and the customer inserts a $1.00 bill. The customer can purchase a product for $0.75 even though the change cannot be paid back. The customer will be short-changed. Normally a purchase will not be approved unless all change can be paid.

Entering 0.00 means that the vend will only be approved when the correct change can be returned (overbuy disabled).
