7-20 Routing Outgoing Items
Other Routing Slip Elements 7
A routing slip’s lower panel may have additional controls and pickers that
affect what is sent and how it is sent. The system includes a Format picker if
there is more than one format for the class of data being sent. A transport
may include additional pickers, buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, and
other interface elements that users may need to prepare the routing action.
For example, the built-in fax transport includes six additional interface
elements: a picker, two checkboxes, and three buttons. Figure 7-13 shows the
interface elements in the lower panel of a Fax routing slip.

Format Picker 7
A routing slip’s Format picker lists all the routing formats that apply to the
outgoing item or items. For example, five formats might apply when faxing
an item, while only one format applies when beaming. Figure 7-14 shows the
variety of format choices available in several built-in applications on an
Apple MessagePad 120.
