About Turbo Code®

Turbo Code is an enhanced version of Baudot Code. It sends signals to other Turbo Code TTYs as fast as you can type.The Miniprint 425 takes care of connecting in Turbo Code or Baudot code, depending on which code the other TTY is using. It only uses Turbo Code with other Turbo Code TTYs.

Turbo Code also allows you to use the special “shift” characters on the top row of your TTY keyboard (example: @

#% ^ & * _ < >). If your call is connected in Baudot, these characters cannot be received or printed at the other end of the line.This is yet another example of why Turbo Code is better for TTY communication than Baudot—especially in the day of sharing your email address.

You know you are connected in Turbo Code when a dot appears in the lower left-hand corner of the display.

If necessary, you can turn off Turbo Code at any time. If you do, the Miniprint 425 will not use it. Follow these steps to turn off Turbo Code:

1.Press the options key ( Ctrl + 3 ).You will see PRINT (UP/LOW) CASE on the display.
