When the hopper has reached capacity then the coins are diverted to the cashbox.
The only way to do what you want is to change the routing.

But why would you want to?

What capacity float level does the machine have,125, 200,250,500?
If your machines hopper capacity float level is higher than 200,Dump the hopper and zero the float level, refill using the refill key and coins through the coin mech then the machine will know how much float is in the hopper and when played continue to fill to it's correct capacity level.
If not then that's it, as aaamusements states the routing would have to be changed.

Is there a hopper dump button in the bottom, usually where the cashboxes are?
Without knowing what manufacturer and tech this is I can't be any more specific.

You could try this, turn refill key,push hopper dump button then press start button to make the machine dump the hopper float.
When it empties and stops the display should read how much it has dumped in float,IE your £200.
Repeat the dump without any coins in the hopper and when it completes the display should then show the float level as 0 and short by £500,Just refill the coins back into the machine via the coin mech,the machine will show the refilled float as you fill.
When you have refilled it by the amount of cash want to start with,(say your £200).Just play the machine as normal and you should find coins continue to be directed into the hopper until the £500 level is reached.
