However if your dispensed volume is larger or smaller than expected the easiest way to
adjust it is to adjust the “OZ PER TICK” using the FLOWMETER ADJUST feature in the
programming menu.

liquid for one tick of the flow meter count. Each tick
adjusts the value approximately 2/10th of an ounce.

decrement and the green (+) key will increment this
value. This can be used to fine-tune the amount of
liquid that is dispensed.

USB INTERFACE CONNECTION
The Fresh Cup 4 Touch Machine utilizes a built in USB connection for updating files in
the field. Several types of files can be updated using this interface.
1. User generated graphics files. These include a User Logo, Background
Splash, and Call for Service screen.
2. User generated Drink Recipes. A custom Drink Recipe file can be
generated and loaded to customize the Drink Recipes.
3. Future Firmware Updates. Any future Firmware or Graphics updates will be
e-mailed from Newco with instructions on how to load.
The connection is located behind the waste bin, next to the waste bin detection switch,
and is accessed by removing the waste bin assembly and protective plug from the USB
socket.

20
USER GRAPHICS USING THE USB HEADER INTERFACE
User generated graphics files:
•Three Specific Bitmap files (BMP) can be loaded directly from a USB Flash
Drive into the Fresh Cup 4 Display. These files must be 8 bit 320 x 240
pixel format and Landscape oriented, and output as a Window Bitmap file.
An image conversion program should be used to convert landscape
graphics images to the correct format. This example setup screen is shown
from a shareware program- -Easy Graphic Converter V1.2 --available from
Etrusoft.com, a link is provided in the .pdf file named “Graphics” on the
USB flash drive included with the machine.
1. Custom Logo Graphic—Use the image conversion program to convert
a landscape image (such as a Customer Brand Logo) and note where
the file is saved in the output directory. This file will have _thumb
suffix to show that it has been converted. Rename the converted file
logo.bmp and copy it onto a USB Flash drive (ensure that the Flash
drive does not already have a file named logo.bmp).
