The screen saver will activate and the line lights will shut off after 5 minutes without any activity. This

When the CLEAR key is pressed, the backgauge will move to coordinate the true position into the
computer (if the knife and clamp are not in the "up" position, the display will prompt the operator to

machine will be in "Send Mode" and the display will appear similar to the display shown below.
The backgauge may now be sent to a desired position by simply typing the dimension and pressing
SEND (see the Send Mode section on page 27).
