What Is HP Easytime/XL
HP Easytime/XL is an easy-to-use program through which you can
communicate with your HP 3000 computer. Based on a system of
pull-down menus, HP Easytime/XL guides you with descriptive phrases
through the day-to-day tasks that you need to do your job, whether that
means managing system resources, starting a job, printing a report, or
sending a message to another user on the system.
Whether you are the person who manages the system or someone who
only uses applications on it, HP Easytime/XL provides easy methods or
several tasks. The system administrator manages the system in many
ways such as creating accounts and users, setting passwords,
establishing schedules for backups, and replying to requests. Some of
these tasks can be done through HP Easytime/XL.
For example, HP Easytime/XL screens provide ways to inform users of
backup schedules, a system administration task. The screens also
provide ways for all users to send messages to each other, or to the
person operating the console. HP Easytime/XL helps in performing both
system administration tasks and end-user tasks.
Here are some of the tasks that you can perform with HP Easytime/XL:
• print, copy, rename, delete, and store files
• review and manage files waiting to be printed
• start and delete jobs
• show and delete sessions
• send messages to other users
• review messages and reply to requests from the system
• perform full and partial backups
• access an extensive on-line Help Facility
