I. INSTRUCTION AND CHECKING THE VERSION

1.1 INSTRUCTION
- MICRO DNC 2C is an equipment used for replace for the old transfer data by using
computer. When using computer to transfer data to CNC machine, it will have some
disadvantage: the connection will not stability, waste the acreage. Then MICRO DNC
2C device has improved these advantage to make the transfer data become more
easier, faster and more convenient.
