Customized insertion strips  
The MCP package also includes an A4-sized blank plastic sheet with detachable strips. You can customize insertion strips if 
the pre-defined strips can not meet your needs.  
In the \examples\MCP folder of the Toolbox DVD for the SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED, there is a symbol library file and an 
insertion strip template file. To make customized insertion strips, follow the steps below:  
1.  Copy the desired symbols from the symbol library file to the desired locations in the insertion strip template. 
2.  Print the template to the A4-sized blank plastic sheet. 
3.  Detach the insertion strips from the blank plastic sheet. 
4.  Pull out the pre-inserted strips from the MCP. 
5.  Insert the customized strips on the back of the MCP. 
This manual assumes an 808D standard machine control panel (MCP). Should you use a different MCP, the operation 
may be other than described herein.
