The System Setup Menu allows us to make changes in the system configuration.

parameters to factory defaults.

will be loaded automatically after switching into the
Endorsing mode.

 Each Endorsing Format Line has its own Speed and Margin properties that will be

used by the software unless the Default option is selected.

Clock Setup – allows changing Date/Time.
