Vendo 511 Card reader Offline


Recommended Posts

I installed a Credit Card Reader on my Vendo 511, I hooked the  harness from the control board directly to the Card Reader. When I power on the Vendo the display readers Card Reader offline by Vendor. The Bill Validator still accepts  bills, but the card reader does not go into a Swipe Card state. Has anyone ran into this issue

Check the revision on the Eprom of the Vendo board.  Those were not designed in the early 1990s with Card Readers in mind.  In order to stand a fighting chance, the board firmware needs to be as up to date as possible.   511s work with card readers with mixed results.

Hey Mike, is there an upgrade that will allow the 511’s to send cash sales?
