Menu and Features

On-screen programming

Your machine is designed to be easy to operate with LCD on-screen programming using the menu keys. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the menu selections your machine has to offer.

Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-by-step on-screen instructions to help you program your machine. All you need to do is follow the instructions as they guide you through the menu selections and programming options.

Menu table

You can program your machine by using the Menu table that begins on page 133. These pages list the menu selections and options.

Press Menu followed by the menu numbers to program your machine.

Memory storage

Even if there is a power failure, you will not lose your menu settings because they are stored permanently. Temporary settings (such as Contrast, Overseas mode, and so on) will be lost. You may have to reset the date and time.
