To avoid the possibility of damage to the keyboard slides, do not apply excessive force to the key-
board tray; do not lean on the keyboard or place heavy objects on it.
3-3 Bar Code scanner
A Bar Code scanner can be supplied as an option to allow rapid and accurate entry of patient data in
hospitals which provide patient data in this form. Refer to Chapter 9 Worklist section 3 Bar Code scan-
ner (option) on page 91 for more information.
4Windows
There are several types of windows that will be encountered as you use the Senographe DS AWS.
The most important ones are:
• The Browser. This is the main window used to manage the database, start the Review application,
etc. See Chapter 8 Browser.
• The Worklist is used to display a list of scheduled operations. From this window you can start image
acquisition and review operations. See Chapter 9 Worklist.
• The Viewer is used by the acquisition and review applications to display and process the images.
See Chapter 11 Viewer.
These main windows give access to other windows, such as the Medical Procedure Card window, the
Annotations window in the Viewer, various user selection windows, etc.
Also, small message windows concerning procedures in progress appear on your monitor as you per-
form various functions. Some of these disappear on their own, others remain on the screen and the
application remains blocked until the message is acknowledged by clicking on OK or Cancel.
Note:
If the system does not respond because two or more windows are open one on top of another, it
is possible to recover by pressing the Front key on the keyboard (several times if needed) to ac-
cess hidden windows.
