Operating the Control
2-6
Use the exit softkey {
↑
} (on the far left) to regress softkey levels. For
example, if you are currently on softkey level 3 and you press the exit
softkey, the softkeys change to the softkeys previously displayed on
softkey level 2. When you press the exit softkey while holding down the
[SHIFT] key, the softkey display returns to softkey level 1 regardless of the
current softkey level.
When more than 5 softkey functions are available on the same level, the
control activates the continue {
→
} softkey at the far right of the softkey
area. When you press the continue softkey, the softkey functions change to
the next set of softkeys available on that level.
Important: When the number of softkey functions on that level does not
exceed 5, the continue softkey is not available.
For example:

When you reach softkey level 1, the above set of softkeys appears. Press
the continue softkey {

} to display the remaining softkey functions on
softkey level 1.

On softkey level 1, the control does not display the exit softkey since the
softkeys are already on softkey level 1.
We explain the softkey functions for level 1 and 2 in appendix A, and level
3 or higher in the sections that apply to their specific operations.
To use a softkey function, press the plain, unmarked button directly below
the description of the softkey function.
You can purchase some of the softkey functions as optional features. This
manual assumes that you purchased all available optional features for your
machine. If you did not purchase an option, the softkey is blank.
Some features accessed through a softkey can be password protected.
When a feature is password protected, the softkey that accesses that feature
is no longer displayed.
