12 9 TC4000 AND THE ADMINISTRATOR 3 Through this document, we only describe the TC4000 particular features. You must refer to the Cartadis TC4N user's manual for getting information about: - magnetic card recording on the TC4N itself, - viewing of statistics, - setting of parameters linked to the copier.

In most cases, the A4 price is set to 1 and A3 one to 2. Prices associated with coins payment, are applied by following 2 steps: - in the bonus table, get the "card points" equivalent of the amount inserted, - application of one among the 4 prices from P1 to P4 (according to copy size and colour) to the "credit of card points" from which the number of possible copies have to be deducted. The bonus table is accessible from a sub-menu of the "Copier Parameters" menu. This sub-menu is called "Bonus Table". It is composed of 3 screens showing the following table: P0: 10 C0: 1 P1: 100 C1: 12 P2: 200 C2: 30 Point price: Price in cents (0.10 ) for recording 1 point on Cartadis card Level 1 bonus: Price in cents (1.00 ) for recording 12 points on Cartadis card Level 2 bonus: Price in cents (2.00 ) for recording 30 points on Cartadis card For moving from one screen to the next one, press key.
