ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to simplified menu display and inputting apparatus for use in a pen plotter having a set of up, down, left, and right control buttons used for pen control. There is an alpha-numeric display for displaying menu choices, an ON LINE button for placing the plotter in an on line mode of operation wherein the pen control buttons are employed in their normal manner, and a MENU button for placing the plotter in a menu input mode wherein the pen control buttons are employed to move from top to bottom through top level menu definitions and from left to right through subfunction menu definitions. Displayed menu choices are selected for insertion into a current parameter value list while in the menu input mode. Provision is made to identify a number of users and store their operating parameters separately and individually so that users can return and use the plotter with their values without having to re-enter them each time.
