User-Friendly Programming

 

We have designed the machine with on-screen programming. User-friendly programming helps you 
take full advantage of all the functions the machine has to offer.

Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-by-step on-screen prompts to 
help you program the machine. All you need to do is to follow the prompts as they guide you through 
the function menu selections, programming options and settings. Additionally, you can program 
settings more quickly by pressing 

 

Menu 

 

and the menu number using the dial pad.

For complete list of the function selections, options, and settings, see
