Functions (keys F1, F2, F3, and F4) correspond to the options for a particular menu, directly
above each function key label.
Pressing the function key labeled Home always returns to the Job Queue menu.
Press ESC to return to the previous menu. Press STOP to cancel the current cycle, job, or job
queue.
Rotate the outer knob to scroll through items in a menu list. To select a highlighted item,
press the central knob (the Enter button). Then use the outer knob to scroll through available
options for that item or to change a numeric value. Press the inner knob again to enter the
displayed option. You can also use the inner knob for other operations that require an Enter
operation to continue or complete an operation.
This section contains information about how to create, edit, view, and delete methods.
You can define methods and assign them names up to eight characters in length. You can
create, copy, edit, and view methods from the Methods menu. Although you can view
methods from the Job Queue menus, you cannot edit them there.
You create methods by either copying an existing method or creating a new method.
 To copy an existing method
1. Choose Menu > Methods > method name > Copy Method.
2. At the prompt, enter a name for the new method.
3. Use the scroll knob and the left-right arrow function keys (F2 and F3) to select among
alphanumeric characters and spaces.
4. Press the ENTER key to accept the name.
