4.2.1 Screen Messages
Screen messages appear when additional input is needed before proceeding. There are three
types of on-screen messages; confirmations, warnings, and errors.
• Confirmation Messages - Confirmation messages inform you when you are about to perform
an action that cannot be reversed or when an action has been initiated and your confirmation
is needed to continue. When a user-response is not required to continue, the message
displays briefly before automatically disappearing.
• Warning Messages - Warning messages inform you when completing the selected action
may result in an irreversible change or loss of data.
• Error Messages - Error messages inform you when a system or procedural error has
occurred. Examples of possible errors include a disconnected cable or a peripheral, such as
a printer, is powered off.
4.2.2 Making Selections
The Scanner interface is a menu driven program that presents a series of choices one at a time.
As you select from a menu, the next menu in the series displays. Each selection narrows the focus
and leads to the desired test. Use your fingertip or the stylus to make menu selections.
