Detailed operating instructions
5.10 Teach-In
With the Teach-In function you can move the needle above the type plate to a specific position. After
the needle has reached the wanted position you can „tell“ the computer by pressing the OK button to
save this position as position for a tag.
To teach in the position of a tag you have to open the „Tag“-dialogue for the concerned tag then you
have to press the Teach-In button. The „Teach-In“ dialogue appears on screen. Now you can move
the needle by pressing the concerned buttons.

But
Attention !!! The needle moves immediately after you have pressed a concerned button. Please
avoid collisions! When the needle has reached the wanted position just press the OK button, to get to
know the computer to save this position as new position for the tag.
5.11 Changes in box type and contents
You will have noticed that in addition to position and size, the box type, the box contents and two
options may be displayed in the ”Box” prompt window.
5.11.1 Box type
The following box types will be supported:
• Text boxes
• Date boxes
• Counter boxes
• Graphics boxes
In order to change the box type, the required new box type is clicked on by the mouse. Naturally, this
applies only to box types which can be converted to each other. Operations which are impossible -
depending on the present conditions - or do not make any sense will be displayed deactivated (= grey)
on the screen. Therefore you cannot go wrong!
