HCP 6-1
6 Programming the HCP A PDA with HCP software installed
must be used to alter or add to the
menu items stored in the HCP cabinet.
A Palm Pilot with the software loaded
is available (106-6658) for the HCP.
Other Palm models can be used,
however, they must have version 4.0
or later of the Palm operating system.
The Palm and its HCP software make setups for promotional items
and special configurations easy to build and repeat. Cabinet
configurations and daily cabinet activity can be uploaded from the
HCP to the Palm.
With the proper security clearance, menu items can be created and
edited in the software. Figure 1.
The new items, along with existing products, are stored in the Food Library, where they can be
moved to the Menu and beamed into the HCP cabinet. The configurations established in the Palm
Pilot are beamed into the HCP cabinet’s lens. See figure 2.
