How many machines do you have? Maybe you have a soda machine you could swap with this one.Cookies are small text files created by the website, downloaded to and stored on any internet enabled device – such as your computer, smartphone or tablet – when you visit our homepage. If you are new and small (and i don't know if you are) then you are wasting your time. Having cash sales is nice, but it really only gets useful IF you keep track of it daily (or in real time) and IF your time is limited. Those credit card masks work fine, but for $600 for one machine or $1200 if you tried to do this for both, you could practically replace the soda machine with something that is ready to go (minus the card reader).
Plus can these CC readers be used with USAT or parlevel? Or is there a specific company that handles them? (Suppose I would need to contact USAT) Of course both machines now have coinco validators so they would need to be converted to mars. Anyone have any experience with them? Seems like a good idea knowing that if I decide to go back to just cash in the future, I can just put the old validator back in there and not have to look at gaping drill holes in the machine. Now back on topic.Īlthough expensive, I like this idea. Royal told me boards with blue buttons can be upgraded so i'll order an eprom and confirm that. The only exception to any of the 3 is that, if the Royal has a white button, it won't report cash sales. You would be better off investing in a used royal 650 or DN 501E. But, in reality, you would be wasting your money in upgeading the snack JUST to report cash sales if the soda didn't even accept cards at all.
Regardless, you could get an InOne board from D&S depending on the model of snack machine for about 315 + tax and shipping and you would get cash sales. If so, the board wasn't too expensive (2-300) and drop sensor was maybe 100, but the drop sensor really isn"t all that important on that machine to be honest. I know they did for SM6 and i think they did for the F80.
This info came from USI tech support after i mounted a reader and it obviously didn't work.Īlso, while the snack machine will work, i don't remember if USI had an upgrade to bring the F80 board up to a GVC2. In fact, it would technically be possible to add a card reader if it had a micromech plug but the machine is MDB so there's no conversion kit you could even use. Coinco makes that board (and the F80 board, and some Royal boards) but the MCB12, in particular, cannot work with a card reader. They told me that their MDB signal doesn't send/receive the right data for a card reader. Ugh, so I need to check if the soda machine has an mcb12 board? And if so, can I change it to a different board to support mdb? (This is getting expensive.
