use the windows. Table 5 shows and explains the symbols that are used on the
windows.
Table 5. Symbols and Visual Cues
Visual Cue Explanation
+
The plus sign appears under your finger when you touch the monitor screen surface.
It moves with your finger if you move your finger across the screen surface. The +
sign is used to point to items to select them (by removing your finger from the screen
surface).
A26O0023
This is the system menu symbol. Every procedure window contains a system menu
symbol. When you select this symbol, a pull-down menu appears allowing you to
close the window, print the screen, or switch to other active windows.
A26O0026
Information often appears on the procedure windows in boxed areas called fields.
This three-dimensional outline signifies a selectable field. You can select any field with
this three-dimensional outline. A pop-up window, a keyboard, or a keypad window
appears when you select a field that you can change.
A26O0027
This two-dimensional outline signifies a field that you cannot change. You cannot
select any field with this two-dimensional outline. Text in the two-dimensional box is
for your information only.
A26O0018
This is the scroll bar. It appears next to some fields that you can change. Use the
scroll bar to view additional information that cannot fit in a field. You can scroll up
and down in the field by selecting the up and down arrows of the scroll bar.
A26O0019
This is the scroll box. The scroll box varies in size and location within the scroll bar,
which indicate how much more information is available in the corresponding field. If
the scroll box fills the entire space between the scroll bar arrows, then all text is
currently displayed and the scroll bar is not active. If it does not fill the scroll bar,
scrolling up or down reveals more information. The scroll box moves down within
the scroll bar as you scroll down within the information.
Grayed out text Text that is grayed out signifies that the procedure or pushbutton is inactive. You
cannot select a grayed-out item.
