Plotter status messages, menu choices, and system

prompts appear in this window.

Arrow Keys

The arrow keys are used to move the pen assembly

around the table when the plotter is offline, and to

move the cursor during certain menu functions. Each

arrow key is marked indicating the direction the pen (or

cursor) will travel when the arrow key is pressed.

Function Keys

To choose from a menu or to respond to a prompt,

press the function key associated with your choice or

response.

Menu Key

Several of the plotter menus have multiple layers, called

pages. The Menu key allows you to move from page to

page.

Enter Key

The Enter key is marked by a dot in the center. The

Enter key is also used to select menu options, register

parameter changes and, in some functions, to signal the

plotter to begin a process.
