2. Calibrate printing color screens indicating the user if the production cycle should be started
3. Provide a user form to count the amounts of scoops inserted to the press
4. Provide a user form to explain the operation step-by-step
5. Calculate the optimal sharpness levels based on input printing parameters
6. Verify the color intensities input by the user
