Keyboards

The “PC” keyboards, including the EPC (101/102-key) and the PC/+ (106/107-

key), are similar in style and feature a number of key groups.

The alphanumeric keypad is the main typewriter keypad, while the function key

group lies along the top of the keyboard and can be programmed locally or downloaded

from the host. The numeric keypad is the calculator-style set of keys on the right-hand

side of the keyboard, used to enter numeric data.

The cursor and edit keypads, located to the left of the numeric keypad, allows users to

edit text and move around in the document. The communication key group, above

the edit keypad, is used to control communications with the host or printer.

The ASCII keyboard varies from the PC keyboard styles mainly in that it features 28

edit keys and 16 function keys.

For each keyboard, there is a set of local “hot-keys.” They perform a variety of

terminal functions, such as “Print Screen” and “Enter Setup.” (See Appendix A for a

complete list of local functions.)
