12.2 Using Printer Review
The messages in the Printer Review display are shown in increasing time order; that is, older messages
appear above newer messages. Initially, messages in the Printer Review display are positioned so that the
newest message appears on the bottom line.
12.2.1 Scrolling the Printer Review Display
Use the vertical scroll bar to view messages which do no fit initially on the Printer Review display. Scroll up
to view older messages, scroll down to view newer messages. Click the
U P and
D OWN A RROW buttons in the
scroll bar to scroll one line per click. The P AGE U P and P AGE D OWN commands can also be used to scroll up or
down by the number of lines visible in the Operator Window.
Whenever the Printer Review display is scrolled, it is put into Pause Mode (described in Section 12.2.2 ).
12.2.2 Pause/Resume the Printer Review Display
The operating mode of the Printer Review display, which determines the behavior of the display when a
new message is sent to the selected device, can be in one of two modes:
• Update Mode
• Pause Mode
The Printer Review display initially appears in Update Mode by default. The Pause and Resume options on
the Printer Review display menu bar are used to select the operating mode of the display. Pause Mode is
useful when reviewing older messages, to prevent them from scrolling up and off the display. Click Pause
to select Pause Mode, click Resume to return to Update Mode.
When the display is in Update Mode:
• Resume is stippled out.
• The message appearing on the bottom line is always the newest message.
• When a new message is received, it is inserted at the bottom line. Older messages will scroll
up one line.
When the Printer Review display is in Pause Mode:
• Pause is stippled out.
• The message appearing on the bottom line may not be newest message.
• When a new message is received, older messages are not moved.
If new messages are received while the display is in Pause Mode, the position of the vertical scroll bar will
change to indicate the current position of the displayed portion of the Printer Review display.
Scrolling the Printer Review display (by using the vertical scroll bar, or P AGE U P or P AGE D OWN commands)
also puts the display in Pause Mode. Click Resume to return to Update Mode (simply moving the vertical
scroll bar to the bottom does not return the Printer Review to Update Mode).
