a Screen Delay Time" on page 56) and you press the key sequences before that
time has elapsed, the OSD does not display.
Configuring Servers for Soft Switching

click Setup>Menu. The Menu dialog box is displayed.
2. For Screen Delay Time, enter the number of seconds of delay desired before
the Main dialog box displays after the Print Scrn key is pressed.
