Idle Screen (Screensaver)
The Idle Screen settings allow configuring what is displayed on the screen when the vending machine is idle for a defined period of time.
This feature can be used to:
- reduce screen burn-in
- display promotional content
- show informational slides
- display video content
- keep the screen black when inactive
The screensaver activates after the configured timeout period when the machine is not being used.
Timeout (sec)
Section titled “Timeout (sec)”The Timeout (sec) parameter defines how long the machine must remain idle before the screensaver is activated.
The value can be adjusted using the ”+” and ”–” buttons.
Example:
Timeout (sec): 60
Special Case: Timeout = 0
Section titled “Special Case: Timeout = 0”If the timeout value is set to 0, the screensaver will never be displayed.
This disables the idle screen functionality entirely.
Show in Maintenance Mode
Section titled “Show in Maintenance Mode”When enabled, the screensaver will also be shown while the machine is in maintenance mode.
If disabled, the screensaver will not appear while the service menu is active.
