Data Entry Error Messages
Before using the PageControl Console, become familiar with its Console states, data entry
procedures, and standards.
PageControl Consoles provide several methods for entering accounting data. The methods
available differ whether you are using Mode 1 communication or Mode 2 communication. In
either case, the Consoles exist in various states and provide various error messages.
When you enter accounting data at the Console, the Console verifies your entry against
database validation values and notifies you if you enter incorrect information.

Console
States
PageControl Console states include functional modes and operational
modes. Functional modes describe how the Console works,
independently of the operation you perform on it. Operational modes
describe the usage choice or the operation you perform on the Console,
such as photocopy.
Functional Modes
At a Glance...
Functional Modes
Operational Modes
The PageControl operates in three functional modes:
Idle mode—The Console is not in use; data entry fields are ready to accept entries. The
Console returns to Idle mode after a specified period of inactivity.
Data Entry mode—The Console is in use; data entry fields are receiving entries.
Ready mode—The Console, after receiving all data entries, is functioning in the
selected mode of operation (counting printed pages, counting scans, and so on).
Idle Mode
A PageControl Console that is ready for use is in Idle mode. When you press any key
(unless that key has a special function), the Console enters Data Entry mode.
The PageControl returns to Idle mode when you complete a transaction or after a
configurable period of keyboard inactivity in Data Entry mode or Ready mode.
Idle mode enables the following Console keys:
F1, F2, F3—Select a corresponding option from the screen.
HELP—Open the help topic associated with the current mode or function.
Data Entry Mode
When you begin entering data in the first data entry field, the Console enters Data Entry
mode. The Console transitions to Data Entry mode seamlessly, so it treats the first
character you enter as the initial character in the first data entry field. In this mode, the
Console displays the Data Entry screen.
You can enter accounting data into the fields displayed on the Data Entry screen. Use the
arrow keys as needed to scroll through the data entry fields. You can enter the accounting
data directly into the data entry fields, use data entry tools such as swipe cards or, for
Mode 1 Consoles, use any of the configured data entry options such as SEARCH,SCAN, or
RECALL.
The PageControl returns to Idle mode when you complete a transaction or after a
configurable period of keyboard inactivity in either Data Entry or Ready mode.

Ready Mode
After you complete all required accounting entries at the Data Entry screen, the Console
enters Ready mode, and displays the Ready screen. At this point, you can begin using the
controlled device to make a transaction.
The Ready screen displays an accumulator for page count and a timer for device timeout.
In addition to the page count and device timer, other information may include billable/
non-billable information or the total charge for the transaction. Ready mode enables the
following Console keys:
F1, F2, F3—Select a corresponding option from the screen.
END—End the current transaction and return to Idle mode.
HOLD—Extend the timeout value. See your system administrator for details.
The PageControl returns to Idle mode when you complete a transaction or after a
configurable period of keyboard inactivity in either Data Entry or Ready mode.
Operational Modes
A PageControl’s operational mode determines the type of operation the PageControl
controls. When a Console is in Photocopy mode, for example, it controls access to the
connected copier and tracks copy transactions users perform on the copier. Both Mode 1
and Mode 2 support different operational modes.
Mode 1 Operational Modes
When your PageControl Console uses Mode 1 communication, it can support up to four
operational modes, including:
Photocopy mode—The Console tracks copies made at a photocopier.
Disbursements mode—The Console tracks disbursements made at the Console.
Job Code mode—The Console records job codes used for fax transactions made at the
Console. (Not available).
MyPrint mode—The Console holds printed documents in a queue until an authorized
user releases or deletes them.
Note: The names and appearances of all operational modes are configurable and can differ
from Console to Console.
To switch from one operational mode to another, perform the following procedure:
1Press the corresponding function key (F1,F2, or F3) for MODE on the screen.
2Select the mode you want to use by selecting the mode’s corresponding number key.

5Press the corresponding function key for NEXT on the screen to remain in the current
mode and begin another transaction.
6Press the corresponding function key for END to finish your transaction. The Console
returns to its default operational mode (typically Photocopy mode).
Mode 2 Operational Modes
When your PageControl Console uses Mode 2 communication, it can support one of three
different modes:
Photocopy Mode—The Console tracks copies made at a photocopier.
Print Release Mode—The Console holds printed documents in a queue until an
authorized user releases or deletes them.
Photocopy and Print Release Mode—The Console tracks copies made at a photocopier
and holds printed documents in a queue until an authorized user releases or deletes
them.
Your system administrator determines which Consoles will use which operational modes
and configures those modes using your Equitrac software.

Data Entry Options
Recall
The RECALL option is available only on Consoles using Mode 1 communication.
For configured fields, the RECALL option retrieves a list of previously entered accounting
information from the local Console, and displays the data on the screen. The recalled
information is based on the accounting codes you entered in the previous data entry fields.
The Console displays the most recent transactions first. Only transactions made from the
current Data Entry mode are recalled because different Data Entry modes might not have
the same uses for a field.
Consider an example in which the Console is configured with three fields: User, Client,
and Matter. The Recall feature on the Console is configured so that the:
Client field recalls are based on User data.
Matter field recalls are based on Client and User data.

Speed Codes
The Speed Code option is available only on Consoles using Mode 1 communication.
The Speed Code option functions like a speed dial on a telephone. Speed codes enable you
to replace an accounting code, including optional fields you have skipped or left blank,
with your own short, alphanumeric code.
When you use a speed code, the Console automatically enters the accounting information
previously assigned to that code. For example, you can enter a short speed code at the
Client field that replaces both the client code and the matter code.
Each Console can have one type of speed code only—Individual or Console-wide:
Individual—Individual speed codes are based on a specific field, and are typically based
on the user code. However, you can configure individual speed codes to use any
previous data entry field as the key field.
Console-wide—Console-wide speed codes are not associated with a specific field and
often represent descriptions, such as accounting transactions, research, or distribution.

Interrupting a Transaction
While a transaction is in progress (a lengthy copy job, for example), you can interrupt the
current transaction to perform another transaction. The Console suspends the current
transaction until you return to it. The current transaction remains active while it is
interrupted. The Console continues to track the device output.
Note: The interrupted transaction can time out if your subsequent transactions take
considerable time to complete and the Console reaches its configured device time out
value. See your system administrator for details.
Interrupt is not supported when using MyPrint mode.
There are four levels of interrupt available which enable the Console to store information
for up to five transactions at a time.
To interrupt a current transaction with another transaction, perform the following
procedure:
1With a transaction in progress, press the corresponding function key for INT.
Note: You can interrupt the current transaction to perform a different kind of transaction.
Press OPTN, select the Select Mode option, then select a mode of operation. See
Operational Modes on page 2 - 3 for details.
2Press the corresponding number key for the transaction type you want.
3Enter the appropriate accounting information for each field by performing one of the
following:
Enter the accounting data. If necessary, press ENTER after each field entry.
—Or—
Enter accounting data at a field using a speed code, or by using the SEARCH,SCAN,or
RECALL options. See Data Entry Options on page 2 - 5 for details.
Note: Use the BACK key to edit accounting data entries as needed.
When the Ready screen displays, one of the following interrupt level indicators display
at the bottom of the screen. When you interrupt the Console for the first time, the level
indicator displays
INT-1
You can interrupt the Console four times at most. The interrupt level indicator changes
to correspond with the level of interrupt, in the following order:

4Perform the transaction.
5Press END to end the current transaction and return to the previously interrupted
transaction.
When you interrupt multiple transactions, you must complete the most recent transaction
before you can access previous ones. For example, if you are doing a transaction and the
interrupt level indicator is INT-4 you cannot access the transaction whose interrupt level
indicator is INT-1 until you have completed all the other transactions.
If you attempt to interrupt the Console more than four times, the Console displays the
message "Interrupt level exceeded" at the bottom of the screen. Complete a transaction
before proceeding with another transaction.

support secure document release and copy control. When configured,
your prints or copies are tracked by an Equitrac System.
Secure printing uses an Equitrac system’s queuing feature in conjunction with the
PageControl Console for user-controlled release. The Equitrac system holds documents
sent to registered devices in the secure print queue. Using the Console, you can view,
select, delete, or release documents to the printer. You can also walk to a different
compatible printer and redirect documents to the new printer.
Copy control provides copy device control that can authorize and track transactions made
at copy devices.
Making Photocopies
To access the copier device to make photocopies, the Console prompts you to either swipe
a card (magnetic stripe or proximity) or enter a PIN using the keypad or optional
QWERTY keyboard and press ENTER. When entering a PIN using the keyboard, press and
hold ALT to enter an uppercase character. See the control system documentation for
complete details on Console prompts and messages.
Note: Use the corresponding function keys (F1, F2, F3) below the Console screen, as well
as the number pad keys, to complete your transactions.
If prompted, enter a secondary PIN and press ENTER.
The Console processes your entry and verifies your primary and optional secondary PIN.
When prompted on the Console screen, press the corresponding function key to copy
documents.
If prompted, enter the numeric billing code to which the copier usage should be charged.
