controller will be disabled.
The stop signal from the optical device is overruled when the slow mode is selected and the
footswitch is pressed or when the reverse button is held. An audible signal is heard to warn for
posible danger.

SLOW MODE IS ACTIVE.
The safety footswitch is protected with a safety lock to prevent accidental switching. Insert the
forefoot completely to disengage this lock.
Slow mode

When in slow mode the machine is started with the footswitch it will run at low speed so that the
operator has both hands free to position and feed new film or image correctly into the machine.
