User Interface

FAX Attendant sounds a ‘‘beep’’ when you press an undefined key. The message line either informs you if you have pressed an undefined function key, or continues to show the last message.

The function key commands displayed on the screen apply only to the active window.

Most windows use more commands than there are function keys. Therefore they make use of two sets of function keys. The set of standard function keys includes commands commonly used in most windows.

The set of alternate function keys usually includes commands which are unique to that window.

Function key F8 labeled CHG-KEYS, acts as a ‘‘toggle’’ to switch the displayed function keys from one set of commands to the other.

The function keys that you see when a window first opens are not necessarily the standard ones. They are the keys that are expected to be the most useful for that window.

Standard Function Keys

The following table shows the standard set of function keys. The standard commands for keys F2 and F3 vary depending on the type of window. Also, a given window may not require every command from the standard set. Unused commands have blank screen labels.
