Usually, this mode is not used by customer. In the maintenance mode, the
control method cannot be changed.
* When the CONTROL keyswitch is turned OFF, the control method is re-
turned to "0: Control by laser controller" (when the control by external input/
output signals is OFF).
* To change the control method, blank all the other items.
