A bar („) underneath the element number indicates that a cartridge is stored in that element. A blank space indicates that no cartridge is stored in that element.

A dash (-) indicates that the slot is not usable (beyond Max Addressable Slot value). A question mark (?) indicates an invalid Occupied flag.

3.To select an element, use the left and right arrow keys to move across the columns. The underline indicates the currently selected element. For example, in the screen above, the first slot in the magazine is selected (1).

4.When you have selected an element, press [ENTER]. The Index and Type information for this element appear on the screen. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the fields.

The following table provides a description of each field.
