Zusammenfassung:A hot melt adhesive system (10) includes a dispensing unit (16) configured to liquify a bulk form of hot melt adhesive and deliver the liquified hot melt adhesive to an application location. The dispensing unit (16) includes a controller (28) for establishing and/or verifying at least one system condition, such as temperatures associated with system operation. A machine reading unit (62) is coupled with the controller (28) and is capable of receiving information from a machine readable element (64) and communicating the information to the controller (28) for use in establishing and/or verifying the system condition. A method of operating the system (10) includes scanning information on at least one system condition into the controller (28) from a machine readable element (64), and using the scanned information during operation of the dispensing unit (16).
