In addition to the possibility to produce a copy of a key starting from a reading made by the
IDEA optic reader, it is also possible to produce a copy of a key starting from a reading
made by OPTIKA using the Key Reader Program or Silca key Program.
In the Key Reader Program, the “Copy key” control allows the operator to read the cuts on an original key
with the OPTIKA device and automatically forward all the necessary data with which to produce a copy with
IDEA.
The job will be received by the machine from the PC queue.
Note:
The job received in the PC queue will delete any existing job queue.
