Technician's Cards look like a customer LaundryCard™, but can also show which machines are marked out of service and why, based on the Equipment Status selected.
Once a technician has repaired a machine, with the technician card used at an X-Changer, you can then tell the system that the machine is again ready for use.
The manager can also put value on a technician card for starting machines.
General Information for Technicians
LaundryCard readers are the devices that read a LaundryCard™. The card reader acts as an electronic coin drop, designed with a pulse relay that simulates the native pulse from a coin drop. Card readers are installed on equipment throughout the store. (You may also see card readers on doors). The card readers have a display that tells you the account balance on a card used and the price of the specific machine. The display can also act as a timer to let you know how much time is left on a machine before it is available again.

Getting a New Technicians Card
Issuing a Technician's card is done by the store manager. Note: An attendant may typically disable a card reader when a machine no longer functions properly, and then the Technician may be called in.
