Besides options, some chapters have commands. The commands need to be scanned
directly, without reading the “SET” and “END” labels. The commands are executed
directly and, unlike options, are not stored in non-volatile memory.
Configuring via the menu book
To configure the required options proceed as follows:
scan the SET label
scan the required option(s)
scan the END label
After scanning the END label, the new settings are stored in non-volatile memory.
