    Abstract: An interactive tutorial teaches an operator all of the required information needed to set up, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot a folding machine. The interactive tutorial includes graphic and text displays that provide all the necessary information to the operator or short videos to show exactly how an operation should be carried out. The tutorial preferably uses a touchscreen with buttons that allow the operator to select one from several displayed folder functions, see further information regarding a particular operation, or jump to another screen. In one embodiment, the displayed information in the tutorial is not used to control any functions of the folding machine and may include at least one of an operating manual, a maintenance procedure, and a troubleshooting operation.
