The LabTec has three (3) dispensing modes, namely, Serial, Volume and Weight, of which only the
Serial mode is used by clinics in normal use. This is a special version of the standard LabTec
designed for this particular application.
The Volume mode described is used only to attempt to free a stuck head as described later in the
Troubleshooting section.

four (4) operational modes
as shown on the
previous page. By using the
