5.4 ESCROW
This module is an optional intermediate storage of the coins inserted before making the associated
transaction.
It can be enabled as a classification path (C1 S1) to temporarily store coins which are not routed to
hoppers or discriminators. The operation consists of the possibility of returning these coins or finally routing
to the cashbox. A typical case is to avoid the system being used as a change machine, by introducing coins
of higher value and requesting a refund of the amount.
This way there is always the option of refunding the exact same coins inserted as credit in the case of not
buying any of the products or services offered by the machine.
