3.3 Touch Screen Program
The Touch Screen Program is a "user-friendly" menu-driven setup and operation program. Popup
windows are incorporated for quick and easy setting adjustments. Each time a setting is changed, the
settings are saved so that if power is lost, the “job” will be recalled automatically without the need for
reprogramming. Moving around through the program, entering menu levels, and entering setup options
are
easily and quickly achieved by just one touch of the screen to set the options you choose. A general color
scheme has been used for consistency with operation:
Green:
Normal Operation
Red:
Stop functions, warning messages or off positions.
Orange:
Information Pause

perforation, set this value to 2", for example. The default setting is 1".
IndexDlay:
An Index Delay timer is provided to allow the bag just sealed to drop before the next bag is
