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
