Always browse from left to right: depending on your selection, certain menus will be available while
others will not.
You can activate or deactivate types of tracing in the configuration screen.
b. Jobs and working modes
Jobs
A ‘job’ incorporates all the necessary actions for assembling a pair of glasses. It can be managed in two
ways:
•saving: allocate an ID and a reference to the job to save it and re-use it later.
◦Automatic job archiving
◦Mandatory in the tracing - tracing work mode
•without saving: working in current mode (job identification by the letter A) makes it possible to
process a job quickly without saving it. It is necessary to complete the treatment cycle of the current
job before starting a new one.
Working modes
There are four working modes for managing your jobs:
•tracing - centering - preparing edging mode
•tracing - preparing edging - centering mode (by default)
•tracing - tracing - centering - preparing edging mode
•tracing - tracing - preparing edging - centering mode
The selected work mode is shown in the information bar, to the left of the Essilor logo. You can change it in
the tracer settings.
Working in tracing - centering - preparing edging mode
At the end of a tracing, the tracer-centerer-blocker displays the centering screen automatically
then the edging preparation screen.
You can fully process a job before proceeding to the following:
1. tracing or retrieving a job from the database
2. changing the shape and drilling position if necessary
3. centering
4. lens blocking
5. edging preparation
To activate this working mode, select the following parameters in the configuration screen: (F p.97)

2. Edging preparation
3. Changing the shape and drilling position if necessary
4. Centering
5. Lens blocking
To activate this working mode, select the following parameters in the configuration screen (F p.97):
Work in tracing - tracing - centering - preparing edging mode
At the end of a tracing, the tracer-centerer-blocker displays the tracing screen.
•You can perform several tracings in succession.
•The tracings are saved under the job number that you have assigned to them.
•Shape modification, centering, blocking and edging preparation are processed later.
•All jobs must be saved.
•After a job call the centering screen appears automatically, followed by the edging preparation screen.
•You can access the centering screen at any moment to centre the lens that corresponds to the active
shape:
> select then .

check the frame shape and centering.
Three values are displayed above the image:
•the frame base&
•the curve angle&
•the frame thickness
The indicator symbolizes the wearer side view.
In tracing - centering mode, the centering screen is displayed at the end of the tracing:
