Explanation of Icon (when the Preprocessing Settings are enabled)
Green OK icon
When the Loading Station is empty and if the program can satisfy the
set preprocessing time, the “Green OK” icon will be displayed.
The “Green OK” icon changes to the “Yellow OK” icon when the set
pre-processing time cannot be satisfied.
Yellow OK icon
It is possible to load a basket, but the basket will stay in the Loading
Station longer than the set preprocessing time.
The total time (set preprocessing time plus the additional wait time)
will be displayed and counted down in the TIME LEFT display.
If a basket is not in the Loading Station, the time in TIME LEFT
counts down. When this time counts down to the set preprocessing
time, the “Yellow OK” icon changes to the “Green OK” icon. When
the “Green OK” icon is displayed, the TIME LEFT does not count down
and displays the set preprocessing time.
