• Category: select industry type (Laundry, Vending, Amusement, etc.)
• Subcategory: select option that matches machine type

  Note: if picture will not upload, reduce image size and/or resolution and try again.

• Position – app will show image of machine number based on Position setting. It is recommended to use Position picture type when using number decals.

• Add pricing rows as needed to provide users with all price options that appear on the machine*
• Select Advanced to view and edit Pulse Timing*

*See Appendix below for description of price and pulse settings.

Device Registration Complete

After completing all steps, Success dialog will appear:
Would you like to register another [machine] with same settings & pricing?

• Yes – copies Machine, Location and Pricing settings to the next device. If applicable, Position number will automatically increase by one.
• No – register a device for a machine with different settings.
