Keyboard
The DASHER TP1 keyboard provides alayout
of keys similar to astandard office typewriter.
Unlike atypewriter, it generates ASCII
character codes. How your terminal responds to
these codes depends on which of the three
ASCII printing characters sets your terminal is
using and whether it is offline or online. When
your terminal is offline, it operates very much
like atypewriter. However, when it is online, it
may function quite differently. Online, your
terminal's response to the keyboard depends on
the nature of the work your computer system
has been set up to handle.
Function Keys
Besides the standard typewriter keys, your
keyboard also includes eleven function keys.
The functions of these keys are described
below. Where the online function of akey may
vary from system to system, we have left
several blank lines so you can write in the
specific function of the key in your particular
system.
ALPHA!
LOCK
Upper Case Alpha Lock Key -This key
functions as the Shift Lock key does on a
typewriter. Pressing it together with any alpha
(letter) key generates the upper case character
for that alpha key. This upper case function
continues until you press the ALPHA LOCK
key again. The indicator light on the SHIFT key
glows while this function is taking place.
BRK
Break Key -Holding this key down prevents
the transmission of any character codes.
