Note that the touch switches used to call the System Menu are not displayed at corners on the screen. If a touch switch displayed in a corner is pressed first, the touch switch will function and the System Menu will not be displayed. Especially, when the touch switch has switch screen function, as a result of screen switch over, it means the corner is not pressed even if it is kept press- ing. To successfully call the System Menu, first press a corner where no touch switch is displayed, and then press any other corner regardless of the pres- ence of a touch switch.

With the NT631/NT631C, the System Menu can be displayed even if the screen has touch switches registered at all four corners.

Pressing a Touch Switch That Displays The System Menu

There is a control key that has the function of displaying the System Menu.

By registering the touch switch for System Menu display ([MENU]) on a screen when creating it, the System Menu can be displayed just by pressing this switch.

If the NT631/NT631C has no system program installed, or if the system pro- gram is destroyed, the System Installer mode is automatically established when the power is switched ON.

To establish the System Installer mode in order to install a system program or make settings for data management, either turn the power ON, or reset the NT631/NT631C, while pressing the touch switch at the top left corner of the touch panel (size: 7.2 mm 7.2 mm).

Switch the power to the NT631/NT631C ON while pressing this touch switch.
