You have a JCM Bill validator and you correctly selected JCM Billval in the device setup, so assuming the bill validator is working, it should work. If you would have selected MEI or the wrong type you'd have to clear the machine again and start all over.
What's the history of the machine? Did the validator work in the past or is the machine new to you?

this is a game from hell. Needed mpu power supply got it from spin that somewhat fixed it had to send mpu and power back to them and they fixed it.then booted machine and touch screen didn't work. Order one off eBay, then before i could try it the 5/12 power supply to a crap.got a new one and here where im at so id say the bill a accepter isn't working it make no noise and isn't lite up.is there a fuse for it.when i get a working one how can i clear the error code or will it clear it self. thanks bob.

If they had MPU on a different machine it probably needs cleared. I would clear machine with correct clear card and start over.

Also pull the validator out and make sure that it has a RS-232 board mounted on the left side of the transport and that it plugged in to the side of the transport fully. There's supposed to be a screw in it to hold it in place, but they're often missing. Also check the bottom of the transport and make sure it has an EPROM installed (if it has a socket installed). If it's labeled see if it says ID003 on it. Sometime validators end up in machines with the wrong protocol firmware installed.

i cleared the machine when i put the newer monitor in.i will look into the checking out the bill accepter tomorrow thanks everyone. Bob
-
so id say i have the wrong bill accepter by these pictures also .when i turned the game on today i got billval stcker box open i pushed and the cash box it was not seated in write and then the bill accepter ran.but the error messages are still on screen and machine will start.

You have the right validator in it or you wouldn't have gotten rid of the bill validator comm error. The new error indicates the door is open on the stacker. Make sure the door is closed completely and see if the error goes away. If not check the door switch with a multimeter and make sure it's working correctly.

can i take the switch in the back and just wind the 2 wires together and bypass it and do the same for the 1on the side of the bill box
-
I wired all the switch's together game fired up.so now my question is can i change the denomination and configurations or do i have to clear the machine again.
-
To change denomination and configuration you have to clear.

Sorry I missed your reply. The answer is yes you can bypass the switch as you figured out.
