MCL Collection MCL Demo Mode

MCL-Designer Demo Mode • MCL-Designer functions as a full feature tool, with the following exceptions: – – MCL code/documentation is not printable “Save As” function is disabled Programs are saved in encrypted mode Cannot send encrypted applications to device (terminal/printer) • CAN modify demo program to meet your requirements • Once MCL-Designer is Licensed simply open and re-save your demo application

What is Demo Mode? MCL-Net • Full functioning copy for one hour, then shuts down and requires end-user to restart. MCL-Link • Functions in Send only (Receive is not enabled) • Ideal for sending programs to your device while at a customer site.

MCL-Client Demo Mode • Allows fully functional MCL-Designed applications to be loaded on the device. • Demo screens are interminably displayed on the device / screen, becoming more frequent and requiring the end-user to click “OK” to continue and a 5 second pause before resuming
