Boundless Technologies ADDS 3153 ASCII manual Introduction

4 Introduction

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 PC keyboard is configured as an IBM 3151 ASCII keyboard and is for use primarily with the 3151 emulation.

The ANSI keyboard varies from the PC-style keyboard styles mainly in that it features 20 function keys, a set of PF-keys, and a different style numeric keypad.

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 the Appendix for a complete list of local functions.)
