This word is mentioned on a few occasions in the text.
La máquina tiene las siguientes programaciones iniciales:
Todas las recetas están pre-programadas, pero deben ser comprobadas antes de la instalación para verificar dosis y gustos.
El **decuento** de las capsulas está DESHABILITADO. Esto significa que las preparaciones sin leche y/o chocolate pueden ser distribuidas sin programaciones adicionales.
El **decuento** de los polvos está HABILITADO. Todas las preparaciones con leche y/o chocolate no son distribuibles ya que aún no se han llenado los depósitos de los productos solubles y no se han recargado los correspondientes pesos en la memoria de la máquina.
NOTA: es aconsejable dejar habilitado el **decuento** de los polvos para evitar que el cliente selecciones una preparación a base de leche y/o chocolate y reciba sólo agua.

discharge
The only thing that occurs to me is something like 'discharge', 'dispensing system' or dosifier'.
According to this invention, an automatic coffee vending machine can be obtained which comprises a plurality of chambers for storing coffee materials of different varieties, respectively, and a plurality of means for discharging the coffee materials from the plurality of chambers, respectively. Powders of the coffee materials discharged by the discharging means are introduced into a coffee extractor by an introducing means.
In an aspect of this invention, the automatic coffee vending machine comprises coffee concentration key means for selecting a desirable coffee concentration level, sugar amount key means for selecting a desirable sugar amount and cream amount key means for selecting a desirable cream amount. Memory means stores data of various cream amounts, various sugar amounts, different supply amounts of coffee material, and supply amount ratios of the different coffee varieties contained in the chambers. The electric control means reads out the data and controls the coffee material discharging means, the cream discharge means and the sugar discharge means to serve a coffee with a concentration, sugar amount and cream amount as selected by the coffee concentration key means, the cream amount key means and the sugar amount key means.

dispense/ing
Machines "dispense". Discharge is more for waste products?

counting / quantity monitoring
What the text is saying is that the machine should keep track of the amount of soluble powders (milk or chocolate), so that it knows not to attempt to dispense them when there is none left. Initially, the powder deposits have not been filled, and counting should be enabled so that the machine knows there is no powder to dispense, and will not deliver a cup of plain water. This is not necessary in the case of capsules, for some reason, but I don't why, since I don't know how the capsules get into the machine. However, if it's not counting them, they can always be dispensed, since the machine never thinks there are none left.
