USER INTERFACE DESCRIPTION (continued):
USER INPUT:
Screen function key labels and function keys:
Various choices are described with the screen function key labels along the bottom of the screen. A
choice is available if the password level permits it and the machine's operation permits it. Any
unavailable choice will be "ghosted".
The menu selection functions and
Abort/Reset choice are always available and are never "ghosted".
Entering numbers:
Numbers are conventionally entered using numerals, the decimal, the hyphen, and the Enter key. The
Backspace and Escape keys can also be used.
Sometimes numbers are entered into "fields" in the menu area and sometimes they are entered at the
end of the prompt line.
Number entry areas will first be yellow. When the first number entry key is pressed, the field color
will change to red which means the value is in the process of being input by the user but is not yet
confirmed by pressing the Enter key. An unconfirmed value can still be edited. When the Enter key is
pressed, the value showing is confirmed and the cursor color changes back to yellow.
Escaping can be done by either using the Escape key, moving the cursor off of the item, or selecting a
menu.
(The same rules apply for entering letters when creating a recipe name.)
