All the buttons on the control box are numbered 1-15 above and their functions are
listed on the following page.
Buttons 1-4 are multi-function softkeys and can have many different functions with the
current function indicated on the screen directly above by a picture. These four buttons
are also used to navigate through the machine menu and change settings.
