If you purchased a VENDAPIN 5596 Series, please refer to the photo below for the recommended mounting location and orientation of the VendaFax module. Please note the connections for the Telco Line In and To Fax are pointing up in the enclosure. There is a diagnostic LED next to the switch array that must easily be seen for diagnostics. This also makes the switches easy to get to for programming. For other equipment, the mounting guidelines are the same.
Wiring Specifications: The power for the VendaFax is +12~24Vdc. The supplied harness has two wires (yellow and black) with a fork terminal already on them. They are labeled +24V and GRND. Connect the +24V yellow wire to the +24V on the DC/DC converter in the coin op. Connect the GRND black wire to the ground on the DC/DC converter. Please see the photo below for details. Corporate Headquarter: 16381 Cherokee Road Brooksville, Florida 34601 352-796-2693 Factory: 21B Squires St.
If you purchased a VENDAPIN 5596, simply connect the supplied harness to J-10 3-position and 2position headers. See the photo below. All the electrical connections are complete for the VENDAPIN 5596. For competitive vend devices, please refer to the following section for proper interfacing. If you are using another type of machine, the final termination points are to be supplied by the Manufacturer of that machine.
Pin 6 – Count Out (DC Return) - Red/White NOTE: Failure to follow the correct wiring as described above will result in serious damage and/or failure of the VendaFax module. Simply cut off the 2 position and 3 position Molex connectors at the end of the harness installed on the VendaFax module and discard. Use the supplied splice connectors to attach the wires to the necessary locations as specified in the wiring table. Line Connections On the face of the VendaFax are two phone jacks.
Now you are ready to make the connections to your fax machine. Connect the cable going out to your fax device to the “To Fax” jack on the VendaFax module. See the photo below for details. Next, connect the other end of the “To Fax” line to the “Line” jack on your fax device. Route the two lines out the bottom of the enclosure as shown in the photo below. Please note this routing is for a VENDAPIN product, cable routing may vary on other equipment.
Photo Sensor Mode The VendaFax VF-2 also has the capability to sense scanned pages for faxing by using a small photo sensor that is attached to the VendaFax module. It has a 10 foot cord for easy installation with no extensions. This small sensor is to be mounted inside the scanner of the copier directly to the light bar. The sensor must be located in such a way as to not be in the way of light coming through the glass.
The first step is to remove the glass of the scanner. Please refer to the Copier owner’s manual for details. There are far too many copiers to show them all. The second step is to find a good location to enter the scanner area that will not get in the way. The first photo is of a Canon iR2880i. It just so happened there was already a hole in the Canon, but your copier may not have a hole available, so you may need to drill a ¼” hole in order to feed the sensor cable out of the scanner area.
Now the sensor cable must be routed inside the scanner so it does not bind or interfere with the normal motion of the light bar. In the case of the Canon iR2880i there is an existing harness that sits in a tray that already goes to the light bar. The sensor harness was routed right along side of the existing harness and attached to it. View the photo below to see how this was achieved. Please note there is plenty of slack in the cable to allow for smooth operation of the scanner light bar.
The next step is to attach the sensor to the light bar. The sensor must he secured directly to the light for best results as well as reliability. The sensor must be attached to the light so that is does not interfere with the light in the actual scanned area. As previously mentioned, the best location is at the very end of the bar that is under plastic trim or decals on the glass. It cannot be attached within the actual scan area. First photos are from the Canon iR2880i.
Here is a photo of the sensor location on the Samsung C8380ND. Use caution when installing the sensor so that it does not interfere with the normal operation of the copier You are now ready to apply power and begin programming your VendaFax. Programming The chart below shows the DIP switch meaning and use in programming. Please refer to this chart when programming your VendaFax module.
Most systems will use Straight Thru dial mode to send faxes. The DIP switches as shown in the above photo are set to Straight Thru dial mode, Normal Operating mode. In other words, the unit comes ready to control your fax immediately. If you are using an outside service to send your faxes, then you need to program the unit for Store and Forward mode of operation. Please follow the instructions below to program for Store and Forward mode.
3 – Pick up the hand set of the touchtone phone connected to the VendaFax module. Listen for 2 beeps on the speaker of the hand set generated by the VendaFax module. 4 – Once you hear the two beeps, enter the string of numbers you wish the unit to dial to connect to your outside fax services, followed by #00. You will hear 2 beeps for successful programming, 3 beeps for unsuccessful programming. Number can be up to 32 digits long.
To test the system, scan a sheet of paper and watch the LED on the front of the VendaFax module. When the light bar is turned on, you should see the LED blink as it receives the pulse from the Photo Sensor. The basic operation of Sensor Mode is as follows: 1 – Patron inserts money into vend device. 2 – Patron uses the copier fax system to enter the phone number and scan a document. As the document is scanned, a pulse is sent to the VendaFax Module for each scanned page, then stored in the internal memory.
Basic Operation of Store and Forward Mode 1. When the host fax device comes off hook, it is connected to an artificial line within the VF-1 and the dial tone is provided to the host fax device. 2. Any “Touch Tones” sent by the host fax device are stored in the temporary volatile RAM of the VF-1. 3. If no tones are detected within 15 seconds, a “Busy Tone” is sent to the host fax device. 4. Only a “Hang Up” from the host fax device will reset the VF-1 out of this mode. 5.
