How do I..?

This section gives you a brief guide to some operations on the DP1 which may not be immediately obvious from looking at the panel controls.

Key names are written like this: LOCATE. SHIFT + LOCATE means “press and hold the SHIFT key and press LOCATE.

Menu items are written like this: MENU DISK FORMAT, meaning “press the MENU key, select the DISK menu, and then the FORMAT action.

You may find the same action listed more than once in this alphabetical list. That’s because different people use different words for the same things, so you may find both “Delete” and “Erase”, for example.

The list of popup messages and their meaning (“Messages” on page 57) may also be useful to you.
