Conventions Used in this Manual
Many of the procedures require you to enter settings or to choose from a list of variables. To signify
when you are to act upon an item, parameter, button, etc., we italicize the name of the item being acted
upon. For example, the following sentences instruct you to press a specific key on your keyboard.
• Press Enter.
• Press Esc.
• Press Page Up or Page Down.
• Press and hold the Shift and Ctrl keys simultaneously.
In contrast, the following sentence instructs you to type in a required response; notice the word "Enter"
when used in this way is not italicized because you are not pushing a specific key name.
• Enter the value you want to use for this feature.
Similarly, when you select a menu option, we italicize the name of the menu item because you are
required to take the action of choosing it, even though the item may not appear in italics on the system
menu or display.
