Talos validator program card

I’m trying to program a new MEI Talos bill acceptor using the provided coupon.
Everything is self explanatory except selection 3 and 5.
Section 3 asks pulse width - gaming short, gaming long, vending short or vending long.
Section 5 asks Harness Enable or Always Enable.
My guess is I need to select “Gaming Short” and “Always Enable”
Is this correct? I only have 1 coupon to fill in and I’d prefer not to do it incorrectly.IMG_6211.jpeg
 
Can I print that out, cut out and use the “sample” or do I need to fill out the blank card with a number 2 pencil?
Thanks for your help Dan!
 
I would try harness enable to see if it will work. If set to always enabled and used in a changer it will ignore shutdown orders from a controller and will continue to accept bills and not dispense coins

Use the blank one. Make sure it prints out the size of a dollar bill. They suggest a #2 pencil but I know people have used black ink pens and sharpies

In a bay or vacuum it has to be set to always enable. There is no controller in either of those to enable it.
 
Make copies of the original coupon. I use a sharpie to fill out the coupon. How you fill out the coupon depends on what your going to be using the validator in. The Talos validators don't tolerate water very well. Good luck
 
If anyone is struggling to get their validator to read their programming coupon, I just spent a few hours making and trying a dozen or so coupons after my go to coupon for programming stopped being accepted. I finally got it by cutting closer to the side with the numbers (left side) than the right side of the coupon. Making sure the ink did not bleed through (I got it with a Milwaukee inkzall on the coupon paper that comes with the validators, but failed with #2 pencil, black sharpie, black pen, blue pen, blue sharpie, red sharpie). I also had luck printing out Dan's coupon after cutting close to the numbers, but I wanted to accept more denominations than his example, and each way I tried to edit his file (pdf editors, photoshop, etc.) would then print at a smaller scale ~5% and the coupons would not work. Someone else with more patience or editing skills could probably get it though.
