INTRODUCTION How to use this manual The windows in this reference are meant to simulate the windows that appear on your PC UI screen. Use this reference to find information on the function of a particular window, or the type of information that should be entered in a field. To locate information on a particular window, look up the name of the window (upper left corner of window) in either the table of contents of the index.
INTRODUCTION File ID and masking The terms "file-id" or "file ID" refer to the form "file-name.file-type" where "file-name" is a 1-6 character file name, and "file-type" is the directory under which the file-name is cataloged. When specifying the file-id, an asterisk (*) or question mark (?) can be used as a wildcard or string lookup for the file-name. This is often referred to as masking.

USING THE PC UI Components of the PC UI The following sections explain the components of the PC UI in detail. PC UI keyboard The PC UI keyboard allows you to enter text and perform tasks. Figure 1-6. PC UI keyboard The PC UI keyboard contains the following: 1-4 • Character keys. These keys are used to enter text in the Command Line/Message window or input fields of windows. • The front face of certain character keys have multinational characters on them.
USING THE PC UI — F10. Apply — F11. Close — F12. Not functional at this time (future use as an information key) Special function keys Certain keys have special functions that mimic the mouse operation. You can use these keys if your mouse is not working. Also, certain key combinations allow you to move around the keyboard more easily in the absence of a mouse. Both types of keys are listed below: . Pressing this key has the same result as clicking the left mouse button once.
USING THE PC UI Cursor The cursor is the entry point for information or activity on the PC UI screen. Types of cursors Main cursor Appears when you can select items on the desktop. Wait cursor Appears when a system activity is being processed (for example, when a window is being opened) and during system initialization. Data Entry caret Appears when you can enter information in a field (an input field). Moving the cursor You can move the cursor in either of two ways: • • Mouse Arrow keys.
USING THE PC UI PC UI mouse The PC UI mouse controls the movement of the cursor. Use the mouse to position the cursor in order to select icons or options on the desktop. Figure 1-7. PC UI mouse The PC UI mouse has two buttons. • Left mouse button. This button is used to select the options displayed on the desktop. • Right mouse button. This button is used during specialized activities (for example, resizing a window). The mouse plugs into the back of the PC UI.
USING THE PC UI PC UI desktop The PC UI desktop is the basic display screen. Figure 1-8. PC UI desktop 1. Status area. This area contains the date and time fields, the Hint and Fault icons, and the Menu icons. Opening the Menu icons allows you to access task windows. Note: The icons you see depend on the level to which you are signed on. Certain tasks are restricted to certain log-on levels. You need a special password to access those tasks.
USING THE PC UI • Display Faults. Select this button to display a list of all outstanding printer faults. Note: Entering FHI has the same effect as selecting the Display Faults button. • Continue. Select this button to resume input processing and printing. • Close All Windows. This button is located in the auxiliary menu. Select this button to close all open windows on the desktop, except for the Command Line/Message window. The Close All Windows button is a quick way of clearing the desktop.
USING THE PC UI Desktop icons The desktop icons are as follows: Hint icon. This icon only appears when certain conditions (such as low toner) arise. When the icon appears: Hint icon Fault icon. Language icon This icon appears when certain conditions (such as low toner) arise. When the icon appears: • Messages appear in the Command Line/Message window of the PC UI. • The Hint icon also appears on the printer control console, along with messages and graphic displays.
USING THE PC UI • A limited number of PC UI-specific messages. At startup, these messages display in English-only to inform you when the PC UI and ESS cannot communicate or when the console log is being repaired. • Command line window and output fields contents that were displayed before the language change. To redisplay the console log in the currently selected language, close the console log window and select the Display header button in the Display Console Log window.
USING THE PC UI Files icon This icon allows you to access the Files menu. A few of the tasks you can perform through Files windows are: • • • • Disks icon Notepad icon 1-12 Copy, delete, or rename disk or tape files Fix fonts and logos Scale 300 spi fonts, forms, or logos. This icon allows you to access the Disks menu.
USING THE PC UI Windows When you open one of the Menu icons, a Menu window is displayed. A Menu window is a list of options. Selecting one of the options may open another window (referred to as a “Task window”). Figure 1-9 displays the basic components of PC UI windows. Figure 1-9. Windows Window header containing: Window label. Header buttons XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PC UI REFERENCE This is the name of the window. These are buttons which perform specific functions.
USING THE PC UI • No. This button does not confirm the question asked and closes the window. In addition, a window may have a Header button (or more than one) whose actions are directly related to the window’s function. If you select a header button or menu option that is followed by an ellipsis (...), another window opens which requires your input in order to perform the task. Selecting a header button or menu option that does not have an ellipsis performs the selected task without further input.
USING THE PC UI Buttons and check boxes Buttons and check boxes are used to select options in a window. They can be on or off (selected or not selected). When a button is on, a dot fills the center of the circle. When a check box is on, an X fills the middle of the box. Refer to figure 1-11 for a display of buttons and check boxes that are on and off. Figure 1-10. Window example of button and checkbox Figure 1-11.
