This function allows the cloning of all MSX Vending Machine settings for transfer to another Vending Machine of the same series. It is possible to clone the settings from

a “master” Vending Machine and transfer them to other Vending Machines. This is an automatic procedure, so there is no need to configure any folders or files on the USB PENDRIVE.

USB PENDRIVE. When accessed, this function will copy the entire contents of the setup folder on the USB PENDRIVE to the Vending Machine in which it is inserted.

In order to choose which one of the 9 configurations of USB PENDRIVE to copy, simply select the number corresponding to the code or to the name of the wanted one to copy in the Vending Ma-chine and it will be cloned in the Vending Machine, automatically set-ting the new parameters.

The numbers corresponding to the machine codes, stored in the USB PENDRIVE, can be re-named using a PC, even with letters, entering the folder and re-naming the copied code, always with a maximum of 9 different configurations.
