Chapter 3 — Introducing the BlueScale User Interface
External Keyboard and Mouse
If you cannot use the BlueScale web interface, using a USA‐type USB
keyboard and USB mouse connected to the library LCM (see Figure 9 on
page 40) is useful when you need to enter large amounts of information.
The user interface options available when you use an external keyboard
and mouse are the same as when you use the library's touch screen
operator panel.
Not all characters on a USA-type keyboard are supported in the BlueScale user
Important
interface. If a character does not appear on the soft keyboard, then its use is not
supported.
When accessing the library using an external keyboard connected to the library, do
not use the Enter key on your keyboard when making selections in the BlueScale
user interface. Doing so may cause inconsistent behavior in the BlueScale interface.
Feedback Required Screens
When the BlueScale software needs you to make a selection or perform an
action it displays a Feedback Required screen. If you do not respond to the
Feedback Required screen within 10 minutes, the request times out and the
action fails.

equivalent for some characters like the back slash or forward
slash.
 When using a keyboard and mouse connected directly to the
library, it may also be useful to connect a monitor to the
monitor port on the LCM. The monitor displays the same
information as the touch screen.
