Important note:
The selected type of copy (size, black&white or colour) is managed by the Cartadis
CM4000 only if this feature is made available to the unit by the copier.
If the copier can print copies in different sizes or colours but does'nt supply status
signals then it will not be possible to manage them differently at the CM4000 level.
To know your configuration ask the technician who made the installation on your
copier.
The CM4000 display can show two kinds of information:
a) copy format selected with the number of available copies (copy credit),
b) current money credit.
In standby state the Cartadis CM4000 displays the number of copies available. The
display switches automatically to "money credit" for 2 seconds each time a coin is
inserted.Thisfeatureallowstogiveafeedbacktotheuseraboutthecoinrecognition.
