6.9.2 IN/MM Key
This key toggles the display to show the position and programmed send values in inches (e.g. 5.250),
inch fractions to the nearest 1/64” (e.g. 5_
1
/
4
), or millimeters (e.g. 133.3).
6.9.3 Send Key
The SEND key is used to send the backgauge to any valid position. If an attempt is made to send the
backgauge to an illegal position, an error message will be displayed at the bottom of the screen
stating “Number outside limit”. In the Job mode, the SEND key will also advance the backgauge to
the next sequential cut position before performing the cut.
6.9.4 Push-Out Key/Hold-To-Run Backgauge Key
This key has 2 functions. It is used to move the backgauge forward 5 inches (or to the most forward
position) and then return it to its previous position. This allows paper to be removed from the cutter
without putting hands under the knife and clamp. It also allows backgauge to move forward under
program control if the electric eyes are blocked for dimensions less than 3.5 inches (8.9 cm).
Never place hands in the clamp and knife area. Use the push-out key or
the backgauge glide control to move the paper to an area where it can be reached.
6.9.5 Clear Key
The CLEAR key is used to clear error messages and the current entry line.
6.9.6 Enter Key
The ENTER key selects items in the maintenance mode and processes data that has been entered in
the other modes.
6.9.7 Priority Add (X/Y) Key
The priority add key is used for entering fractions when they are combined with whole numbers. The
symbol displayed when this key is pressed is the underline symbol “_”. An example of a number
entered using the priority add key is 1_1/2 (see 6.11.2 Entering Fractions, page 24).
6.9.8 Soft-Keys
The soft-keys are labeled as A, B, C, and D. The definition for these keys change depending on the
operating mode. The function of the key can be found on the bottom of the display screen.
6.9.9 Arrow Keys
The four arrow keys can be used in almost all screens. The arrow keys are primarily used for moving
the cursor around on the screen, or to toggle between highlighted selections. In some screens, the
left arrow key acts as a backspace key.
6.9.10 Contrast Control (Serial Numbers 080074 and Below)
The contrast of the display can be adjusted by using the contrast control knob, which is located
directly behind the display panel, sticking out of the display panel cover.
