AR-M550/M620  SIMULATION  8 - 6

The simulation has the following functions to grasp the machine oper-
ating status, identify the trouble position and causes in an earlier stage,
and make various setups and adjustments speedily for improving the
serviceability of the machine.

1) Various adjustments

2) Setup of specifications and functions

3) Canceling troubles

4) Operation check

5) Various counters check, setup, and clear

6) Machine operating status (operation history) data check, clear

7) Transfer of various data (adjustments, setup, operations, counters)

The operating procedures and the displays differ depending on the
form of the operation panel of the machine.
