MFC Remote Setup

The MFC Remote Setup application allows you to quickly set up the machine by taking advantage
of the ease and speed of programming on your PC. When you access this application, the settings on
the machine will be downloaded automatically to your PC and displayed on your computer screen.
If you change the settings, you can upload them directly to the machine.
OK
This starts the process of uploading the data to the machine and exiting the remote setup program. If
an error message is displayed enter the correct data again, then click OK.
Cancel
This exits the remote setup application without uploading the data to the machine.
