Where a fixed number of choices is available:

Begin to type the entry. As soon as a sufficient number of characters has been typed to uniquely identify which entry is desired, the remainder of the entry is automatically filled in without having to type the rest. As soon as a sufficient number of characters have been typed to identify the entry as invalid, FAX Attendant sounds a ‘‘beep’’ and removes the invalid character.

NOTE:

On some forms, you must type the entire entry.

Move the cursor to another blank, or close the window to complete the entry.

Where an unlimited number of choices is available:

Move to the desired form blank and type the entry. Move the cursor to another blank, or close the window to complete the entry.

CHOICES window selections:

Press the F2 (CHOICES) function key for assistance with item selection (function keys are described later in this section). A menu window opens, containing the choices available. Selection then follows the standard menu window procedure described above. Move the cursor to another blank, or close the window to complete the entry.

The contents of the CHOICES menu vary depending on the situation. When there are a limited number of choices, the menu contains all valid choices. When there are many valid choices, the menu will contain a subset of the most commonly used choices. When there are unlimited choices, the menu may not display.

Function Keys

Function keys are the means by which you command FAX Attendant to perform some function within the active window. Function keys are typically found in a row across the top of your keyboard. Some keyboards arrange them in two columns down the left-hand side. Your keyboard has anywhere from eight to twelve function keys. FAX Attendant uses the first eight keys, typically labeled F1 through F8

The bottom line of every screen has boxes showing the commands which are at your disposal at any given moment.
