SUMMARY AND QUICK REFERENCE MASTERS
9.1 SUMMARY PAGES
What Are Summary Pages?
A summary page contains an abbreviated version of essential operating instructions detailed
in the On-Line Help system and the Instructions for Use manual.
Purpose
Each summary page in this section is an individual, stand-alone document that can be copied
for use in the laboratory as a training aid for new Operators and as a quick reference tool for
trained Operators while operating the instrument.
Design
These summary pages are designed for ease of use by newly trained Operators as well as
experienced Operators. As you examine these summary pages, notice that most summaries
consist of two levels of detail. The first level states the actual task (in bold) and the second
level supplies abbreviated instructions for completing the task.
Newly trained Operators may need to use all the information provided on a summary page.
As their skills develop however, they will have progressively less need for the abbreviated
instructions to complete each task.
Experienced Operators may use a summary page more as a quick reference to make sure they
have completed all the required steps in the proper sequence.
Summary pages are not designed to replace the detailed operating instructions provided by
the On-Line Help system and the Instructions for Use manual and should not be used by
untrained Operators.
9.2 QUICK REFERENCES PAGES
What Are Quick Reference Pages?
A quick reference page supplies detailed information needed frequently in the daily operation
of the instrument, such as the software menu paths.
Purpose
Like the summary pages, each quick reference page in this section is an individual,
stand-alone document that can be copied for use in the laboratory as a training aid for new
Operators and as a quick reference tool for trained Operators while operating the instrument.
9.3 CONTENTS
Since summary and quick reference pages are designed to be used as stand-alone documents,
consecutive page numbering is not used on these pages. Instead the footer shows the total
number of pages ⎯ for example, 2 of 2 appears on page 2 of a 2-page summary or quick
reference and 1 of 1 appears on a single page summary or quick reference.
To assist you in locating a summary page (since the page numbering is not sequential), the
summary page master are inserted first, arranged in alphabetical order, followed by the quick
reference page masters.
