The user interface
| | | | |
The structure of the HP Designjet 50ps user interface is similar to that found generally in web pages and can be divided into three main sections:
-
the status area at the top,
-
the function bar on the left,
-
and the main window covering the rest of the screen.
The function bar is where you select what will be shown in the main window. Click one of the buttons shown here to display the category you want: Jobs, Settings or Administration. This will open the appropriate menu where you can select the part you want.
This open menu closes as soon as you click another button. Only the Help menu can be viewed parallel to one of the other menus.
Note: The status area is described in a separate section: Tell me about the details displayed in the status area.

More buttons ...
| | | | |
Basically, there are two types of buttons:
-
The long narrow buttons in front of an item in one of the lists let you view details about this item (e.g. the settings of a job) or display a window for triggering a certain action (e.g. Add new ICC profile or New job).
|
The buttons of all the other items in the list are disabled when an item is open. Only one item at a time can be "opened".
|
|
In some of the lists, the color of the buttons tells you about the status of an item (e.g. yellow in a job list = job is on hold).
|
-
The round buttons in the status area or within details directly trigger certain actions, e.g. deleting inputs. The functions appear as text or, in the case of frequent basic functions, as an icon on top of the button (e.g. trashcan for deletion, pause sign as on a cassette recorder for setting a job to hold).
