Once a machine has been started by the card reader the an internal timer is started that will prevent any other card from interacting with the card reader during the cycle time. There are two ways you can reset the cycle timer on a card reader...
Reset Cycle Timer on X-Changer
Insert your card, and select the machine. Change its status from 'in use' to 'Machine Okay.' Then touch DONE to exit the screen. Note, however, that if you want to record a reason why you are re-starting the timer, first disable the machine with the appropriate code, and then return its status to 'Okay.'
This feature only works with 'Pulse' mode card readers and will not work with 'Multi-Vend' style card readers.
Reset Cycle Timer from the Card Reader
This prevents other customers from accidentally swiping a card reader on a machine that is already running. The Technician's Card has a unique feature that allow it to reset this cycle time to allow a technician to stop and restart a machine for testing purposes. To reset the cycle time re-insert your card while the machine is running, after a few moments the cycle time will reset and the card reader will be ready to accept another card.
This feature only works with 'Pulse' mode card readers and will not work with 'Multi-Vend' style card readers.
Note
This process only works if the technician card that started the machine is trying to stop it. Otherwise, you must go to the X-Changer to stop a machine's timer.
