CONTROLLER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS

Keyboard The keyboard consists of alphanumeric keys similar to a typewriter, symbols and special character keys, an extended character set, and function keys. The keyboard is one of your main methods of communicating with the printer. You can use the keyboard to make selections, and to enter commands that control functions such as requesting sample prints, obtaining billing meter totals, shutting down the system, and so forth.

Mouse The mouse is another main method of communicating with the printer. The mouse has three buttons. The left and right buttons are used to select IPS functions. The center button provides additional functions that you will not be required to use. If your workstation has an optical mouse, it must remain on its designated metallic pad to be active. If the mouse has a roller ball instead of an optical sensor underneath, it requires a non-metallic pad.

Note: Printer controller hardware configurations are subject to upgrade.
