    operator-intermediatesafe-for-operator

    Access the service mode to view and clear the error queue. Follow the service mode navigation to find the error review and clear function. After clearing, check if the machine returns to normal vend mode.

    Expected: Error queue is cleared and the machine returns to normal operation, or the error reappears indicating an active fault.
