Kerry Lush Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hi Damien, I have my test prints back and have downloaded my spyder.I'm stuck as I can't find where the monitor settings are. Shall I get a computer man in to give me a hand with it?im afraid the instructions make me glaze over a bit. Please advise, Kerry . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Ok, great! So where are its buttons? Often they're underneath on the right-hand side, or at the side/back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I don't understand the question? Just follow the instructions exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 ok, the instructions from the spyder or your instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Oh, mine. The Spyder instructions are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm glad I was brave enough to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Well pressing these buttons are getting me nowhere, I think your instructions assume I know my way around this computer which I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Well, if you need my help, can you take a photo of the screen's menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Where is the screen menu??? do you think I need a few computer lessons first and get back to you? This is very frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Didn't you say the buttons were at the bottom right of the screen, at the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yes, this is what happens when I press them, but am unable to move anything in the boxes up or down, the arrows on my keyboard don't move the settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 And the mouse has no effect on moving anything inside these boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 No, you have to use the screen's own buttons to navigate around those menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 The buttons can be pressed to left or right at best, not up and down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm going to have to get someone to show me, this is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 You push the button that corresponds to the arrow in the strip along the bottom -- presumably they line up exactly with a physical button, yes? So in your first screenshot, push the button that corresponds to the appropriate menu item. Then in the second screenshot (once you're inside a menu,), push the up and down buttons to select the lefthand menu item you want, then push the "enter" button to select it, then push the up and down arrows to select the individual line that you want, then push the "enter" button to select it, and then push the up and down arrows to get to brightness, contrast, etc., and push "enter" to select the line you want, and then push the button corresponding to the direction you want each slider to go.

Kerry Lush Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thank you Christina, I apreciate you taking the time to explain it. I've got a computer chap comming to show me what to do, I think I will grasp it better once I am shown, then next time I can do it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
