I have a CoinCo 9300 series coin mech...I also have the manual. I am having a hard time understanding the "Escrow until vend" vs. "Escrow until select".

Can someone dumb it down for me? Which do I want?

It's in a Dixie Narco can vending machine, with dollar bill accepter, set for .50 per can.
 
"Escrow to Vend" means that you can hit the coin return lever and get your money back provided you have not deposited enough money to reach the vend price of the item you want to purchase. Example: the vend price of the item you want is $1.00. You've deposited say 75 cents and changed your mind about buying out of the machine. Operate the coin return lever and your money will be refunded.

"Escrow to Select" means that your money is held in escrow until you have made a selection and the product delivered (not sold out). This feature is used alot on cigarette machines. Example: vend price of a pack of cigarettes is $6. Customer deposits $6 and wants to buy a pack of Winston Lights. Customer looks at the selections and discovers this machine does not have them. Customer hits coin return lever and his $6 is returned in the form of 24 quarters or 6 one dollar coins.
 
"Escrow to Vend" and "Escrow to Select" don't always work on every machine. Soda pop machines are usually Escrow To Vend while sandwich, food/chips & cigarette machines are Escrow To Select.
