This section gives a more detailed explanation of the System tools available in the Tools menu.
It is possible to open more than one tool at the same time. They are shown overlapped in the main
window area.
The Window menu contains options which allow the open windows to be cascaded or tiled. Also, any
open tool can be selected, so it can be seen in the foreground.
Some tools will issue commands to the reader to change its operating state. Because of this, some
tools cannot be used at the same time because they operate by expecting a particular mode of
operation.
In this case, closing the window or ReaderManager will not solve the problem, because the reader is
still operating in whatever mode it was told to. If you think the reader has become confused in a
case like this, the best way to resolve it is to shut down the ReaderManager and the reader, then start
from scratch.
Fortunately, most windows are passive and do not cause problems like this.
