Assigning Operator Access Codes
 Access codes can be assigned for up to 16 operators with 4 levels 
of access. The systems are sent from the factory with an operator 
number of 33333 and an access number of 3333. To assign other 
codes, follow the steps in this section.
Step 1

screen, place the cursor on “System Parameters” and press
to access the System Parameter Screen. The System
Parameter Screen should come into view with the computer 
awaiting the operator ID. 
Step 2

33333
and press
. The numbers at the top of the keyboard
must be used. The cursor will automatically move to the right 
and await the code ID.

3333
and press
. The message to the right of the cursor should change

right of the “

will allow codes for 16 operators with 4 levels of access. The 
descriptions of the access levels are listed at the bottom of this

Step 6
: Access codes can be assigned for the operators
who will be using the system. The operator ID can be up to 
16 characters but is generally 5 characters using any letters, 
numbers, or symbols. The code ID can be up to 10 characters 
but is generally 4 characters using any letters, numbers, or 
symbols. The system will distinguish between small and 
capital letters. To assign an operator ID, type the desired
