Important
 When accessing the library remotely through a web browser, do not use the
Enter key on your keyboard when making selections in the BlueScale user
interface. Various web browsers handle the Enter key differently, causing
inconsistent behavior in the BlueScale interface.
 Always use your mouse to make selections and click the buttons in BlueScale
screens instead of using your keyboard.
 Do not use the browser’s “back” button to return to a previously viewed
BlueScale screen. Always use the BlueScale menus and buttons on the screen to
navigate the BlueScale web interface.
 Always use the Refresh Display ( ) button on the Status bar to refresh the
screen. Using a keyboard command (for example, F5) to refresh the browser
when connected to the BlueScale web interface causes unpredictable results.
