- Proceed to secure the reader to the machine and then Activate the card reader with the Activation Card:
Vend price control
The reader sends one pulse to the control. Set the washer to start from just one pulse by setting the vend price on the washer to $0.01 or by setting the value of coin1 to equal vend price (the former is recommended).
