darkinthepark Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have a Royal G3 machine that when you put a dollar bill into the bill acceptor and do not make a selection due to it being sold out, gives your dollar back in quarters. Is there a way to set the machine to return the dollar bill when the customer presses the coin return? I have forced vend disabled and bill escrow inhibit enabled. Is there a setting on the BA that needs to be made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Bill escrow inhibited will NOT escrow the last bill but rather stack it forcing quarters to be returned instead of the bill. Set the bill escrow to be enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkinthepark Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have it set to "0", which is enabled. I think that should return the dollar when the coin return is pressed...but it doesn't. Am I reading this wrong or is there a setting on the BA?

AZVendor Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Your setting should be zero for escrowing the last bill. Does your validator stack the last bill inserted that meets or exceeds the HIGHEST vend price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If the validator continues to stack the last bill then check that you have no phantom prices set. If your static display shows zeros instead of 1.00 as it would if all selections are set to that price then the machine believes it has some other selection priced at some other price. On a G3 that has 12 columns and less than 12 select buttons check for a price saved to a selection button that doesn't exist such as button 11 or 12 on a 10 select machine.

darkinthepark Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 I contacted Royal today about this issue, and they told me that Coke wanted the GIII's programmed this way, and there is no way that I can get the machine to return the bill. I guess they figure that people are more likely to dump quarters back into a vending machine than a dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
