same values are recalled each time a job is
performed.
The job storage and recall functions for the
MicroLink system are on the
“Jobs” screen, which
is found by pressing the Job Setups soft key on
the main “Options” screen. After pressing this soft
key the screen will look similar to Figure 5.3
Figure 5.3: Job Setups Screen
This screen shows the current job number and the
description of that job. The ability to store, recall,
or erase jobs can be limited using access codes.
They enable the supervisor to allow a user to
recall a job, but not to store a job. See Chapter 6
on access codes for more information. Each of the
soft keys on this screen are explained in more
detail in the following sections.
5.2.1 Store Job
The
Store Job soft key brings up a screen similar
to Figure 5.3, but it allows the user to change the
job number and the job description. Then the job
can be stored to the battery powered memory
device on the circuit board with the given job
number and description. The job will not actually
be stored until the user presses the
Store Job soft
key. If a job with the same job number already
exists, the MicroLink system will ask the user for
permission to overwrite the old job. Choosing
“Yes” will store the new job and destroy the old
job! If “No” is chosen, then the job will not be
stored. The screen will always report a successful
job storage with a message box. If this box does
not appear, then the job storage operation failed.
Once the job is stored it can be recalled at any
time and it will not change unless the job is
explicitly erased or overwritten.
5.2.2 Recall Job
The Recall Job soft key brings up a screen similar
to Figure 5.4, which has a list of all of the jobs
that have previously been stored. The basic
options for recalling a job are to either enter the
job number or to scroll through the list of jobs.
The
Recall By Num soft key is used when the job
number of the desired job is already known. Enter
the job number in the pop up box and press the
ENTER key. If the job number is not known, then
use the Next Page and Prev Page soft keys and
the up and down arrow keys to place the cursor on
the job to be recalled. When the correct job
number is highlighted by the cursor, press the
Select soft key. Always read the warning that
appears and use it to double check the job number
and job description. If the correct job has been
selected then choose
“Yes” . The screen will pop
up a box that informs the user that the job was not
recalled if the user chooses
“No” on the warning
screen.

5.2.3 Erase Job
The Erase Job soft key brings up a screen similar
to Figure 5.5, which is a list of all of the
previously stored jobs. Note that this screen is
essentially the same as the
“Recall Job” screen,
but that screen can only recall jobs and this screen
can only erase jobs. The method of selecting a job
to erase is the same as the method of choosing a
job to recall. The user can either use the
Erase By
Num soft key or the cursor and the Select soft
