RESET PARAMETER
This function allows to reset the operating parameters to default values that are initially
pre-defined from factory, but that may also be later customized according to specific ap-
plication requirements (s. "STORE PARAMETERS" on page 111). It is useful to restore a
known and safe configuration in case of improper parameter modifications.
To execute the function, the 5-digits password is required (default value: 01234). Only pa-
rameters 000 to 188 are restored, the others (event counter and checksum) remain un-
changed. After execution, the machine is automatically restarted and will generally show
an error message (E02), due to the wrong checksum: this is normal and happens only
when switching on the labeler for the first time, then the correct parameters checksum is
automatically recalculated.
To help recovering operation on a machine locked due to improper configuration, it is also
possible to activate this function at switch-on the Alpha Compact by pressing simultane-
ously the [Start] + [Stop] keys for at least 5 seconds.
- Press either [] or [] key* to move to the next parameter
- Press [Enter] to reset parameters (password request s. page 91)
- To exit PROGRAMMING press the [Start] or [Stop] key
STORE PARAMETERS
This function allows customizing the default parameter set by changing the factory prede-
fined values. Before executing this function, it is necessary to ensure that the current
working parameters have been carefully tested to ensure proper and reliable machine op-
eration (once executed, the original default values are overwritten). Being potentially dan-
gerous, this function requires the 5-digit password (default 01234) to be executed, but it
can also be totally disabled (refer to Service manual under chapter "Extended Configura-
tion") by setting bit 1 of parameter 004.
Once executed, its correct execution is confirmed by a single "beep".
- Press either [] or [] key* to move to the next parameter
- Press [Enter] to store parameters (password request s. page 91)
- To exit PROGRAMMING press the [Start] (for labelling operation) or [Stop] (for
stand-by operation) key
