settings, toggle the switch on the right hand side to enable / disable each

can be accessed by scanning a barcode, the barcodes representing the pallet
and floor functions are provided in the appendix. The left side switch is used
to activate a function for barcode scanning, when the button is activated

interact with screen buttons, maintaining Cube Tape as the primary data
