Automatic Tracking (option)

Press the soft key adjacent to YES to enable
Automatic tracking for the current product number.

Press the soft key adjacent to NO to disable
Automatic Tracking for the current product number.

Note:
Enabling Automatic Tracking for a product number
that has Product Signal Cancellation  already
enabled will cause the Product Signal Cancellation
feature to be disabled for the product number

Product Signal Cancellation (PSC)
(option)

Press the soft key adjacent to YES to enable Product
Signal Cancellation for the current product number.
Press the soft key adjacent to NO to disable Product
Signal Cancellation for the current product number.

Note
Product signal cancellation must have been set up by
the Auto Setup facility for the current product number
before YES can be selected.   Enabling Product
Signal Cancellation for a product number that has the
Automatic Tracking feature already enabled will
cause the Automatic Tracking feature to be disabled
for the product number.

Reject Count

This display shows the number of reject relay
operations.  It does not show the number of
detections or the number of rejects.

RESET  - 

Press the soft key adjacent to RESET to

zero the Reject Count value.

Pack Count

This display shows the number of packs that have
been checked by the detector.

RESET

  - Press the soft key adjacent to RESET to

zero the Pack Count value.
