How to add inventory to a TBS 9900/Kiosk using 'Always Idle' Payment Mode (3 methods)

‘Always Idle’ Payment Mode

When using our ‘Always Idle’ Payment Mode in our kiosk or TBS9900 coin towers, you can Add money in three ways: inserting coins through the coin slot, inserting coins and programming inventory manually, or (if applicable) Inserting coins directly into the removable High-Capacity coin-op tubes and re-seating tubes for auto inventory detection.

Before starting, confirm that the internal blue screen says: ‘Hello!’ If your screen does not show this at idle, you may not be configured for ‘Always Idle’ Mode. When you are in this mode, the coin tower is set NOT to accept any payment until presented for it and can only be used in a PRINT ONLY Kiosk/Cpad or when used on a ScanEZ Station for payment. If you start to insert change while the internal blue screen says ‘Hello!’ coins will be automatically dropped to the coin return.

 

 

INSERT COINS THROUGH COIN SLOT

  • To add inventory, enter the AUDIT menu using the internal board buttons and internal blue screen. Click the Black button to enter the MENU; once you see ‘AUDIT’ (first option), Click Green to ENTER this menu. You will see Inventory Tubes showing here.

 

     

 

  1. Insert coins in any denomination into the coin slot at the top of the coin tower. From there, you can flip through the Tube screens by using the Black and Blue buttons to view each tube and the value you are entering.

 

A coin slot with a red circleAI-generated content may be incorrect.

 

  1. Once coins are inserted, you can cycle through the Inventory Tubes using the Black and the Blue buttons to confirm the tubes are correct with the value you entered for each. After you confirmed, you can click the Black button until you are through all menus and back to ‘Hello!’

 

 

 

INSERT COINS AND PROGRAM INVENTORY MANUALLY

  1. Insert coins directly into the Coin-Op tubes from the slot openings. You will need to keep track of how much you are inserting into the tubes so that you can program this afterward.

A close up of a machineAI-generated content may be incorrect.

IMPORTANT: If you insert a coin into the wrong tube, you will need to remove the coin-op, which allows you to dump the coins upside down.


 

 

  1. Once all coins are inserted, you need to program each tube manually with the value amount. To do this, you need to to the AUDIT menu by using the internal board buttons and internal blue screen. Click the Black button to enter the MENU; once you see ‘AUDIT’ (first option), Click Green to ENTER this menu. You will see Tubes showing here. To edit them, click the green button and then use the red and blue buttons to edit the value. Then, click green to SAVE and go to the following number. Repeat this process until you have adjusted all tube values as needed. To scroll through without changing any tube values, press the Black button.

 

 

 

INSERT COINS INTO REMOVABLE HIGH-CAPACITY COIN TUBES DIRECTLY

  1. When using the CPI/MEI High-Capacity Coin-op, you can manually insert coins into each tube manually by removing the tubes. Because these devices are considered ‘smart devices,’ they will automatically detect how many coins are in each tube.   (The weight of the tubes calculates this)

     A close up of a machineAI-generated content may be incorrect.                  A machine with several small plastic cupsAI-generated content may be incorrect.

  1. If you want to add Bills to the bill recycler, this is done through the bill acceptor by holding down the MODE button on the back of the recycler. When the MODE switch is pressed and held for 2 seconds, the unit will stop displaying the bill count and will display the current mode. The text will flash. The first menu option is ‘Ld,’ used to LOAD the bills. Press the Select Button, and you can now insert $1 bills into the front of the bill recycler as if you were paying. When doing so, you will notice the number on the little screen on the back of the bill recycler increment. Once done loading, hold the SELECT button to save. To get back to the standard screen, hold down MODE until you are back on the main screen, which should now display your inventory of $1s.
