Positioning the display screen
HARDWARE REfERENCE
It is a good idea to take time to position the display screen,
keyboard, pointer control, processor, and optional printer so the
8010 workstation is comfortable to use.
To make sure the Xerox Service Representative has enough room
to access the display screen, position the screen so that there is
at least 14 inches of space on each side.
After you position the display screen, consider other factors. The
display screen is much like a television screen; it is hard to see
clearly if light sources cause glare on the screen, if the contrast is
not intense enough, or if the screen is located too close or too
far away from you.
Scan the four questions below. If you answer "no" to a
question, or if you are not sure whether your answer should
be "yes" or "no," read the explanation following the question.
This chapter gUides you in positioning your display for optimum
viewing comfort.
Is the screen free of reflections from desk lamps and
windows?
If you have not logged on, the display screen should be entirely
blank except for a bouncing white keyboard. (If you do not see
the bouncing white keyboard, contact your System
Administrator. )
Take a close look at the black surface of the screen. If desk
lamps or windows reflect on the screen, reposition the display
screen or the light sources to minimize the glare. Sometimes
you can solve glare problems by deflecting light upward from
window blinds and by dimming or moving desk lamps. If you
cannot eliminate these sources, reposition the screen or the light
sources so they reflect at the edge of the screen rather than in
the center.
If a window is located behind the display screen, the bright
background light may form a halo around the display screen and
irritate your eyes. If there are blinds on the window, position
them so the light deflects upward. If there are draperies, partially
close them to reduce or eliminate glare.
