Hatco Intelligent Toast-Qwik Toaster: How to Program

How to program your Hatco ITQ toaster. Before you get started, locate the serial number or software version of your toaster. The serial number is found on the back next to the plug. The software version is located on the touch-pad display under the logo. All programming steps are mobile-friendly. On the Hatco homepage underneath the resources tab, select “program your toaster” which will bring you to the “program your menu” homepage. For reference, please note at the top of each page there are links to home screen, the product manual, and help text. Click on the “check version” to see if there are any software updates needed. Enter the serial number or software version of your toaster. Because an outdated software version was entered, the prompt tells us to program a new menu which will upgrade the software. If desired, please make a record of your current toaster settings if you want to reenter them. When a green-light prompt appears, it indicates your software is up to date. Next, select “program menu” to create the new menu for your toaster. Enter any one of the three pieces of information about your toaster: software version, serial number, or number of conveyors. Now, you can start programming. The current menu is the default factory settings. All parameters for each item are editable: the belt time, top heat applied, and the percentage of bottom heat applied. Select whether you want a forward, continuous operation, and in and in, or an in and out. The product length can also be adjusted. Items can be arranged by dragging them into the desire order on your toasters touch pad. To delete an item, select the name. Then, click on the blank space. To add a new item, click on the name space and select your item or create and name a custom item. Adjust any of the settings as needed. On the bottom of the page is a preview button. A sample menu will be generated showing how the menu will look on the ITQ toaster touch pad. Notice the new item and the new arrangement we just created are at the top of the menu. When done, select “generate menu file” to create your software revision. Enter your email address to send the just-completed program to your email or download it directly onto your computer. Finally, transfer the electronic file onto a flash drive. Plug it into the USB port on your ITQ toaster and follow the updating software instructions in the ITQ product manual.
