1. Touch screen display
Enables you to make selections associated with the copying and scanning functions
by touching the screen to press selected buttons. The screen can be tilted up for ease
of viewing by pulling on handle (1a) and it locks in position. Use the release control

Be careful not to scratch the display with sharp or pointed objects e.g. a ballpoint pen
as this may impair the display.
2. Main function buttons
