Abstract: In a wet cycle copier of the small tabletop mounted variety, conversion is made for vending in the absence of frequent key operator attention. Incidence of power interruption provides for a soak cycle to occur wherein the liquid toner is cycled through the machine without drum rotation. Rotation of a glass selenium coated drum against a dried and abrading liquid applicator is avoided. After the soak cycle and assuming uninterrupted power, a cleaning cycle is initiated once every 24 hours. Assuming a lack of machine use, this cleaning cycle lubricates both toner application roller and drum to assure a wet toner applicator. Dispersant replenishment is supplied from a large volume reservoir under logic control with provision made for automated machine shutdown where dispersant on demand is not supplied. Provided modes of operation include coin vending, countermechanism vending and direct owner access vending with a tamper proof interface between the provided modes.
