Changing the Front Panel Button Labels

The 16 buttons on the MCP 1000 are not marked for operation. You can remove the button caps to reveal a label plate (see the figure below). Remove each cap and insert a label (icon or text) for each button to identify its assignment. You can use the Extron Button Label Generator (page 2-8) to produce labels.

Replacing a button label

You can print labels on transparent or translucent material, and then cut them from a sheet. Also, see the colored

button caps listed in the parts list in the appendix.

Using the Button Label Generator

Installing the software

The program is provided on a CD-ROM, and you can run it from the CD drive. However, it is usually more convenient to load and run the program from the hard drive.

To install the Button Label Generator program from the CD- ROM to the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from the CD and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program occupies approximately 0.5 MB of hard-drive space.

By default, the Windows installation program creates a C:\BUTTONS directory, and it places an icon (Button-Label Generator) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics.”

Using the software

1.	To start the Button Label Generator program, double-click
	on the Button Label Generator icon (shown at the left) in
	the Extron Electronics group or folder, and click OK when
	prompted.
2.	Under System selection, choose MCP 1000. The Extron’s
	Button Label Generator window appears (see the figure on
	the next page).

3. Using normal Windows controls, you can create and print labels that can be placed in the button panel inserts on the MCP 1000 front panel.

For more information about using the program, you can access the Button Label Generator online help by selecting Show Help from the Help menu on the main screen.
