6.3 THE DISPLAY
The display, which has 4 lines of 40 characters, is used to show or request information. The informa-
tion displayed depends upon the status of the machine but generally, the top line displays a title or
help information for each display. The lower lines are split into 4 blocks, one block above each Soft
Key, to indicate the function of that key.
6.4 “SWITCH-ON” DISPLAY
When rst switched on the display will be blank while the system performs some routine checks.
After a few seconds the display will show information about the machine and the version of the em-
bedded software installed. Similar to the one shown below.
