HCP Software Quick Start
Using the HCP software requires food items
be established in a food library, menus to be
established and cabinet configurations to be
set, which are built from the menus.
Below is a quick look at this process with
references to more detailed instructions and
examples elsewhere in the manual.
Follow these steps to begin working with
the HCP software:
Turn the Palm Pilot On and tap the HCP
icon on the Palm display. See Section 5.
Tap the Key icon in the top menu bar of the
software. See Figure 2 and Section 5.1.
Enter manager (all lower case) in the
password dialog box. See Figure 1 and
section 5.1.
Tap the Language button on the software
interface and change the language setting
from Default to English. See section 5.1.
Tap the Add button in the Food Library
column. See Figure 3 and Section 5.2.
Tap the Edit button in the Food Library
column. See examples in Section 5.2.
Use the keyboard to name and edit items in
the food library. See examples in Section
5.2
Build menus for Menus 1— 5, by moving items from the Food Library to the desired menus. See
Figure 4 and Section 6.2.
Configure cabinet arrangements by choosing items from the cabinet graphic pull-down menus,
establishing a cabinet for each menu, 1 — 5. See Figure 3 and Section 6.2.
Beam the configurations to the cabinet. See Section 6-3.
Figure 2: Tap the key icon
(see arrow) and enter
manager.

the screen of the Palm by
first choosing a Menu and
then selecting a slot for each
item, which are chosen with

display alternates between the product name and the remaining hold time. If more than one slot is
holding the same product, the location with the least remaining holding time is indicated by a
brighter display and illuminated dots.
Stopping the Timer
Press the timer key next to the slot position to turn a timer off. The timer stops and the display
dims, indicating inactivity. The use-first indicator moves to the next appropriate slot.
4.3 Cook More Prompts
The Cook More prompt sounds at a preset time prior to the expiration of the last tray of a specific
product. No acknowledgement is necessary. The three-second audible alarm and the display of
COOK More serve as a reminder to cook more of the needed product.

are provided in Chapter 9.) Press the Temperature key again to display Slot Cln Mode. This
changes the setpoint for all slots to 125°F (52°C). The display will alternate between SLOT CLN
Mode and Not Safe Yet until the temperature of the slots reaches 125°F (52°C). The
display then dims.
Exit Clean Mode by pressing the Menu key until the desired menu choice appears. Release the key
and immediately press the Temperature key; the choice is locked in. This must be done for each slot.
The display will show Slot Temp Low until it reaches the setpoint for the chosen product.

6 Programming the HCP
A PDA with HCP software installed
must be used to alter or add to the
menu items stored in the HCP cabinet.
A Palm Pilot with the software loaded
is available (106-6658) for the HCP.
Other Palm models can be used,
however, they must have version 4.0
or later of the Palm operating system.
The Palm and its HCP software make setups for promotional items
and special configurations easy to build and repeat. Cabinet
configurations and daily cabinet activity can be uploaded from the
HCP to the Palm.
With the proper security clearance, menu items can be created and
edited in the software. Figure 1.
The new items, along with existing products, are stored in the Food Library, where they can be
moved to the Menu and beamed into the HCP cabinet. The configurations established in the Palm
Pilot are beamed into the HCP cabinet’s lens. See figure 2.

cabinet is displayed
Step 3: Tap on a leftmost slot and
from the drop-down menu select a

4-slot cabinet. Programming a
2-slot cabinet is identical,
however, the graphic on the
Palm screen, with the
changes shown in section 6.3,
will reflect the cabinet being
programmed.

HCP

Step 4: Choose a product for
each slot. All the products in a
slot must have compatible
setpoints.

configurations are transferred to
the cabinet each time menu
changes are beamed into the
HCP cabinet.
Step 5: The cabinet should now
be configured for all five menus.

cabinet is clean. Hold the
Palm Pilot parallel with the
floor and aim it at the lens
from no more than one foot
away.
Tap the Transfer button.
Tap the TxirDa button.
The cabinet will beep and the
Palm Pilot will display a
