Alt mode: Generally you use the Alt mode as required by
your particular application.
Scroll lock mode: This mode locks the keyboard for
scrolling only. By using the scroll arrows on the [WINDOW]
keys you can continuously scroll through all data entered.
Your application and keyboard definition show you which
key is defined for scrolling. To unlock, press the key again.
NUM lock mode: Both the 41-key and 51-key DOS/PC
keyboards have the option for locking the keyboard in nu-
meric lock mode. Pressing the yellow shift then the number
8 key sets this function. To unlock, press the yellow shift
then the number 8 key again.
CAPS lock mode: The keyboard is in CAPS lock mode
when this annunciator is displayed on the bottom row of
the screen. All keystrokes are entered as uppercase charac-
ters. To unlock CAPS press the [CAPS] key (51-key key-
board) again or the blue shift and space key using the
41-key keyboard.
Alphabetic lock mode: Only the 41-key keyboards have
the option for locking the keyboard in alphabetic mode.
Only those keys that have alphabetic characters in the blue
shift mode are affected. The primary key function and the
alphabetic are swapped in Alphabetic Lock. Pressing the
blue shift and then the yellow shift toggles Alphabetic Lock
on and off. The following example shows how by using the
number 1 key you can produce characters 1 or A.
EXAMPLE: Normal Operation: Pressing the [1] key produces the character ‘1’;
pressing the blue shift key and then the [1] key produces an ‘A’.
Using the Alphabetic Lock: Pressing the [1] key produces an ‘A’;
pressing the blue shift key and then the [1] key produces the charac-
ter ‘1’.
