  • Page 31 Operation 3.7.2.1 Placing Format (Option HA 800) The machine can determine the calibre of the food placed on it. It bases all its calculations on a round calibre. You can therefore specify the placing format, i.e. the area in which the sliced food is to be placed, through the parameters “Length (L)” and “Width (W)”.
  • Page 32 Operation Activation of calibre recognition “Auto” In this mode, the placing pattern is calculated automatically using the parameters, product width (B) and preset tray dimensions. The fanning distance, the distance between rows and the initial placing position on the tray are calculated by the software. b) “Semi”...
  • Page 33 Operation 3.7.2.3 Counting mode The counting mode specifies whether a placing pattern based on the specified basic functions is to be placed once (normal mode) or is to be repeated (continuous mode). Example for normal mode: Basic function settings Stacking – 10 slices – 4 stacks (= pressed “X button” 3 times) When it is started, the machine slices 4 stacks of 10 slices and places them on the table.
