When you set a macro attachment to a cross-point button, you can make the

Engineering Setup >Panel >Operation menu. For details, see “Setting the
Macro Execution Mode” in Chapter 19 (Volume 3).
To make a macro attachment setting in macro only mode
Notes
To carry out this operation, it is first necessary to assign the “Macro Only Set”
function to the user preference buttons in the menu control block or the utility/
shotbox control operation. Carry out this assignment in the Eng Setup >Panel
>Prefs/Utility menu. (For details, see “Setting Button Assignments (Prefs/
Utility Menu)” in Chapter 19 (Volume 3).)
To make a macro attachment in macro only mode, use the following procedure.
1
Recall the macro register you want to assign to the button. (1 to 250)
For details of recall, see page 792.
2
Press the button to which [MCRO ONLY SET] is assigned, turning it on.
3
Hold down the [PRE MCRO] or [POST MCRO] button assigned to a
utility/shotbox control block button or user preference button, and press
the desired button in the background A row.
The cross-point button you pressed flashes green, and the register you
recalled in step 1 is assigned to the button. The [MCRO ONLY SET]
button goes off.
Without switching to macro only mode in step 2, if you hold down the
[PRE MCRO] and [POST MCRO] buttons together and press the desired
button, it is possible to set a macro attachment in macro only mode for that
button.
To check macro attachment settings

shotbox control block button or user preference button. While this is held
down, the buttons for which a macro attachment is set flash as follows.
While the [PRE MCRO] button is held down:
• Buttons set in pre macro mode: flash amber
• Buttons set in macro only mode: flash green
