5-8-27-5 Display Recipe Contents
The display recipe function is used to verify the contents of a
recipe number before it is loaded from the recipe book. This
function will prompt the operator for the recipe number
desired. Once a valid recipe number is entered, the display will
indicate the contents of the stored recipe in percentages.
5-8-27-6 Print Recipe
The print recipe function is used to verify the contents of a
recipe number before it is loaded from the recipe book. This
function will prompt the operator for the recipe number
desired. Once a valid recipe number is entered, the contents
of the stored recipe in percentages will be sent to the printer.
This function is only useful when the printer option is
incorporated on the OS/OA.
5-8-28 Printer Menu
The OS/OA blending system may be equipped with a printer, so a
printer menu is available to the operator. This menu is displayed in the
OS/OA Menu Tree shown in Section 5-4 if the printer option is turned
on. The printer menu is accessed by selecting #4 from the main
menu.
The printer is used to obtain batch ticket and inventory information. A
batch ticket contains the time and date information, the job number,
the actual blend percentages and the accumulated inventory
numbers.
The printed inventory might not match the percentage shown, as the
percentage shown is the actual blender percentage running the
current recipe. The inventory, depending on when it was manually
cleared, may or may not reflect the current recipe inventory. Some
customers like to run an accumulated inventory on ingredients coming
from silos, etc., even though several different recipes have been run
on the blender. Others like to clear the inventory every time the recipe
is changed. The blender gives the operator the choice of either
method.
