Options to the System

Monitors, touchscreens or trackballs, and printers are options to all the Universal Stations

in all versions of systems. A touchscreen or trackball allows you to “point” to areas on the

graphic display and select operations to be performed. Without either of these options, you

must use directional keys (arrows) on the keyboards to navigate across the screen.
