- Connection of the PC makes it possible, with the appropriate dedicated
software, to program all parameters of the machine and read/check di-
spensing statistics directly from the PC.
- Both the machine and the PC must be off. Connect the PC to the machine
using a 3-wire (inverted) serial connection cable fitted with a 9-pin con-
nector. Insert the cable to the serial port ref. 3 (Fig. 20). First turn on the
machine and then the PC. The connection will be activated and the data
exchange will take place in real time.
4.17 Adjusting grinder
Each country has a different general grinder setting range, according to that
country’s coffee preferences. Generally speaking, these settings are as follows:
- Italy : 4 - 7,
- Spain - France - Switzerland - Netherlands : 5 - 8,
- Germany - Austria : 6 - 9,
- USA - Canada : 6 - 14.
To adjust the grind setting and check the results, follow these steps:
- Insert the safety disabling key so that you can dispense an espresso and che-
ck the modified grind setting without closing the front door ref. 1(Fig. 19).

5.3 Programming
General information
The programming mode allows you to modify certain operating parameters of the machine. These parameters are grou-
ped in five menus:
• OPERATING SYSTEM
• PAYMENT SYSTEM
• BEVERAGES
• PRICES
• TIMES
OPERATING SYSTEM PROGRAMMING
This program allows you to program machine parameters concerning operation and status of the machine. It is also possi-
ble to assign a code to the machine, to display the machine’s serial number, and to encode or modify the programming
access password. The counters that can be displayed refer to coffee and soluble products. For each, the counters show the
number of already-dispensed beverages and the number of beverages remaining to be dispensed. The machine will auto-
matically block itself from dispensing a beverage when the maximum number of a dispensed beverage (STOP VALUE) has
been reached. Each counter can be reset and modified.
The operating system programming mode allows you to:
• Modify the minimum and maximum operating temperature of the machine.
• Modify hour and date.
• Insert text lines that will be displayed during beverage dispensing, when the machine is in stand-by mode, when it stops,
or when it is out of order.
• Pre-program soluble decaffeinated coffee.
• Set which and how many consecutive beverages should be dispensed when the special multi-beverage key or card is
used.
• Activate/disable the photocell detecting presence of a cup in the beverage dispensing area.
• Program the option that displays the remaining amount of money to be inserted in order to dispense a beverage.
• Program the option to dispense a stir stick with each beverage or only with those having a pre-set sugar quantity.
• Activation of the pre-heating option for the soluble product whipper bowls.
PAYMENT SYSTEM PROGRAMMING
This program allows you to program the following parameters concerning the different payment systems:
• Communication protocol
• Coin values
• Bill values

20
English
• Activation of multi-product dispensing (managing of remaining credit)
• Over-pay time (collection of remaining credit)
• Discount for users of the Saeco Card system
• Maximum allowable credit on Saeco Card system
• Activation of the pre-heating option for the soluble product whipper bowls
BEVERAGE PROGRAMMING
This program allows you to set a double or triple cycle for each beverage or set the decaffeinated option in place of whole
beans. (This is assuming that the bean hopper will contain regular espresso beans). Each beverage is made from one pro-
duct or the combination of two or more products. If several products are used to dispense a selection, the products will be
added to the beverage sequentially as they have been programmed. For each soluble product, program the soluble pro-
duct, water, and if necessary, the sugar quantity. For beverages using whole beans, program only the water quantity, as
the quantity of coffee to be ground is pre-set. If the decaffeinated option is activated, the dispensing value for the decaffei-
nated soluble product (bin 5) must be set for all beverages containing coffee. The double or triple cycle repeats dispensing
of the same beverage quantity two or three times consecutively (e.g.: double espresso). If a sugar quantity has been pre-set
for each beverage, the user can still modify or even erase the quantity before selecting the desired beverage.
PRICE PROGRAMMING
This program allows you to set prices for the beverages and cups or free cup drop. It is also possible to set a discount for
users purchasing beverages with the Saeco Card system. Ten different prices, therefore a different price for each beverage
selection, can be programmed. Cups can be dispensed free or at an extra charge. In the case of an extra charge, if the
cup is not dispensed, the machine will give a discount on the beverage price.
TIME PROGRAMMING
This program allows you to set machine functions that are performed within specific time periods:
• Free product dispensing
• Turning the machine on and off
• Discount or surcharge time ranges
• Pre-grinding coffee beans (to save time during periods
of busy use)
• Automatic rinse cycle
