machine for a specific set of functions. The bar code

 

 

allows the machine to identify the overlay.

Before the Power Wave is turned ON, the operator selects the desired overlay and mounts it in the over- lay frame on the front of the machine. Then, when the machine is turned ON, it reads the overlay bar code and configures the machine accordingly, allowing the operator to access only certain keys. The machine must be powered up each time an overlay is changed.
