5.1 Standard menu
Usually this menu is used for labelling. All important parameters can be changed while the
machine is running. After turning power on, the standard menu is active, unless the product
menu was on before the machine was switched off.
If the product menu is active and you want to use the standard menu, switch off the machine
again. Press the key NEXT FUNCTION while switching on the machine and the standard menu
is active. In the standard menu you have access to all important parameters for labelling. The
number of parameter and its kind depends on how the configuration has been made. Change
of parameters is active immediately. Changed values are lost when turning off power. If values
need to be stored, the extended standard menu has to be used. All available commands are
listed down below.

Initialisation ______________________________________________________ INIT
The function INIT is available only, if required for a new initialisation. Which is the case under
the following circumstances:
a) Status error message E__0, the feed key was pressed with pressure roller open
b) Status E__1, while moving the label web no labels have been recognised over a web
length of 4 labels.
c) During power on the FEED key was held depressed.
d) CONT or LPIT were changed to automatic mode.
Note: A new initialisation after an E__0 or E__1 message is not absolutely
necessary if you sure that the label parameter are all right. Then leave the INIT
display with the NEXT key and press only the key FEED to reposition the label at
the dispensing edge.
