Conventions for this manual

8-1 Typographical
• In text describing the user interface, italic and bold characters are used to differentiate between body
text and on-screen or hardware captions and labels, entered text, etc.:
- Italics are used for references to hardware items and text which appears on-screen (e.g., menu
titles, button labels, on-screen messages, etc.).
- Bold face is used when specific instructions are given for the entry of text or selection of a menu
option, etc. If the operation or text entry includes the use of a keyboard or mouse button, its name
is shown between angle brackets, to distinguish it from entered text, e.g., 123<Enter> would be
written for an instruction to type 123 followed by the Enter or Return key.
• In other text:
- Italics are used when a specific concept is introduced.
- Italic and bold characters may also be used for local emphasis.
- Blue italics are used for cross references.
