About Turbo Code

®

Turbo Code is an improved version of Baudot code. It sends
signals to other Turbo Code TTYs as fast as you type and allows
you to interrupt the other person at any time during a
conversation. The Superprint 4425 takes care of connecting in
Turbo Code or Baudot code, depending on which code the other

TTY is using. It only uses Turbo Code when you connect with
another Turbo Code TTY.

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

This is how the Turbo Code dot looks on the display.
