Application Design Features
As you’re moving through the screens, notice the design features of
this application.
•
Consistency—Buttons and screen titles are positioned
consistently across the different application screens.
•
Screen Navigation—The screens are easy to navigate. You can
call up any screen from anywhere in the application.
•
Colors—The screens provide optimum contrast for readability.
Colors with associated meanings are applied to certain objects.
For example, in the Setup&Printing screen, the Print button is
green; the Cancel button is red.
In Multistate Indicators, colors for each state are configured to
convey the appropriate meaning. For example, State 0 (not active)
is blue. State 3 (error) is red to alert the user.
•
Control Groups—Groups of controls are arranged left to right,
top to bottom, in the order they would logically be used.
For example, input options are arranged as follows:
Copies; Paper Source; Copy Quality/Mode; Zoom.
•
Button Placement—On keypad applications, each Goto Screen
button is placed near the function key that controls it.
