Physical Mounting
Your Jamex Vend System may e mounted on one of the availa le stands

ca inet. If securing to a wall or ca inet, route all the ca ling through the
ca inet through the hole in the ack of the vend station or through the
area at the ottom of the housing next to the hinge. Ensure that the
cables cannot be caught or pinched.
Electrical Installation
First connect the power supply to the vend station. It has a round four pin
DIN connector which connects to its mating plug. If the vend station is
mounted on a ase, the mating plug is located under the ase. If the pre-
mounted ase was not purchased, the mating plug is located inside the
door of the vend station. Connect the other end of the power ca le to a
110 VAC grounded outlet. International power supplies ship with outlet
connections specific for your region’s voltage.
Please refer to the Point-to-Point Wiring Diagram, included with your
vend station, for the details on connections to your specific copier.
Power - Up
When powered up or after a hardware reset, the vending system scrolls
firmware version, serial num er and a copyright notice on the LCD
display. During normal operation the LCD display will scroll:
"Copies $xx.xx, $xx.xx & $xx.xx, $xx.xx Deposit up to $xx.xx"
There is a unit serial num er on the outside of the vend station located on
the upper right hand side. Use this serial num er for your records and
when contacting Jamex technical support.

Setting Display Contrast
The display contrast can e customized to provide the est reada ility for
the lighting at the vend station's location.
• Open the vend station and locate the main oard mounted on the door.
• On the oard locate R2
• Adjust the contrast y turning
R2 clockwise for a darker
contrast or counterclockwise
for a lighter contrast.
Note: You may need a small
screwdriver to adjust R2 or there may e a dial that you can turn.
Loading Change
The Jamex vend device will self replenish change during normal use.
However you should pre-load some change efore putting the vend
station in service. This allows the vend station to relia ly return change
and insure the acceptance of ills. The recommended minimum amounts
of change for some standard changers are listed elow as well as the
maximum amounts to completely fill them.
Standard three tube changer min and max coin quantities
Nickels (14 min) = ($0.70) ( 78 max) = ($03.90)
Dimes (13 min) = ($1.30) (113 max) = ($11.30)
Quarters (12 min) = ($3.00) ( 77 max) = ($19.25)
Tube Meter = ($5.00) Tube Meter = ($34.45)
Five tube changer with dollar tube min and max coin quantities
Nickels (14 min) = ($0.70) ( 64 max) = ($3.20)
Dimes (13 min) = ($1.30) ( 97 max) = ($9.70)
Quarters (12 min) = ($3.00) ( 71 max) = ($17.75)
Dollars (0 min) = ($0.00) ( 63 max) = ($63.00)
Tube Meter = ($5.00) Tube Meter = ($97.65)
Note: Not all changers auto store coins in all tu es. Redundant tubes
that are not auto storing (self replenishing) will always e empty. Do not
manually load coins in any tu e. See the next page for details.
• The display should e scrolling the prices.
• Deposit coins through the coin slot on top of the vending system. The
credit is displayed and coins are routed to the correct tu e.
Important: If coins get stuck while loading, press the RESET utton
(shown on the next page) efore pressing coin return.

• Once the "Escrow" amount is reached
($5.00 y default), additional coins will e
routed to the coin return cup in the front.
• To continue to load more change, press the
RESET utton each time the "Escrow"
amount is reached. Wait for the oard to
fully reset efore loading more change.
• Once a tu e is full, the coin will e credited ut routed to the cash ox.
• Press the RESET utton one last time when finished loading change.
• Make a note of the amount of change loaded for reconciliation
purposes.
How Some Changers Handle Redundant Tubes
Not all changers auto store coins in redundant tu es.
In this example tu es C and E are oth quarter
tu es. Tu e E may remain empty ecause the
changer does not auto replenish change to that tu e.
If tu e A were also a quarter tu e, Tu es A, C, and
E would e redundant. If tu es A and E are not auto
storing, the changer will always leave those tu es
empty. Do not manually load coins in any tu e.
