          go to service mode. hold down 0 (zero) for 5 secs, don't release then press start. enter password 6789 -confirm. press login/out button. press systems settings/systems settings/common settings/ maintenance diagnostics/nvm read write. enter the nvm value- read, change the value to 0 and save. then exit or close until the machine will reboot by itself (dont turn off the machine using power switch)

                  Will this work for the 240 as well?

                    Hello,

                    I can't access that menu! After I enter the password 6789, the screen goes back to "All Services". And at that stage I only have the option to "Stored Programming", "Language"and "Setup Menu".

                    Please help!

                              You have error 093-317 = Dispensing Faults.
                              Enter the diagnosis, as colleague said and reset 762-315 to 0.
                              If you can not get into the diagnostics, perform GP1 Forced HDD Format.
                              Do you have the service manual? Codes to activate the software options? (If something goes wrong).
                              If GP1 you do not help, turn off the machine, disconnect the scanner cable between the ess and the scanner. Reboot the machine.
                              You'll get error 16-311. Ignore this error. Enter diagnostics and continue to troubleshoot the 093-317 problem.
                              Finally, turn off the machine and hang scanner cable.
                              Success!
