Entering character codes with numeric keys on the keyboard

Numerals, letters and symbols are programmable by entering the character code and the :key. (If numeric characters entry is selected, “1” is displayed on the operator display (lower line). Press the Nkey to release it.) Set the alphanumeric character code table on the next page. By doing this, you can program characters other than those on the key tops.

Double-size characters can be made by entering the character code 253 or pressing the Wkey. “W” is displayed when double-size characters entry is selected as shown in the operator display example below.

All three digits of the character code MUST be entered (even if it starts with zero).
