5. Menu structure

The touch panel keys or the optional interface can change labeller parameters. The last entered parameters are the actual ones the machine works with. Programming via the interface is described in chapter Serial interface.

There are 2 levels for parameter adjustments. The first one is for parameter selection. With the keys FUNCTION a parameter is selected. By pressing the keys ENTER the second level can be reached. Pressing the keys FUNCTION can change the parameter values. By pressing ENTER you quit the parameter adjustment and the next menu point is shown. For some functions the change of values is effected immediately, for others when leaving the menu point. Details in the menu functions.

There are 4 different menu structures:

yStandard menu

This menu is used for normal operation. The most important parameters for the production can be changed here. The adjustments are lost after turning off the machine.

yExtended standard menu

This menu offers additional parameters and functions to those in the standard menu. Any adjustments made in the extended menu are stored on quitting the menu and are maintained even if the machine is then turned off.

•Product menu

If data banks are stored in the extended menu, the product menu can be activated. In this menu, programmed data banks only can be selected. Changing parameters in this menu is not possible. When storing data in a new data bank, the current adjustments are saved to the new product data bank. You may change data values of a stored data bank by loading the data from the extended standard menu, modifying them and resaving them in a data bank.

yConfiguration menu

In this menu, you configure the machine according to your applications. Additionally you have access to service test functions. This menu is mainly dedicated to service technicians. All current parameter settings are stored on quitting the configuration menu and are maintained if the machine is then turned off.
