The page layout and type selection is designed to speed up access to the information and to provide
visual clarity and distinction between certain types of information.
❏ Headers
The header area (top) of each page shows the name of the manual on the inside edge of the
page and a section and subsection name on the outside edge of the page.
❏ Footers
The footer area (bottom) of each page contains the page number on the outside edge of the
page and the manual number on the inside edge of the page for easy identification if a page
becomes separated from the original manual.
❏ Type Styles
Keyboard keys and words typed from the keyboard are shown in bold font. RSS menu and
screen names are shown in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS RSS field names (features) are shown in
Initial Capital Letters.
❏ Tables
Tables are used abundantly to list steps and procedures. A table is anything contained within
a box with vertical or horizontal lines through it. Shaded tables apply only to procedures for
diskette use and not for hard disk use.
❏ Figures
Figures can be drawings or pictures of hardware and equipment, screen-captured images of
RSS menus and screens, or computer-created graphics.
A stop light represents an important warning .
