NOTE
The volume of all the audible indicators is
adjustable by the serviceman if the preset

KEYBOARD OPERATIONS
The keyboard is similar to that on a standard electric
typewriter. The keyboard has a total of 62 keys
including the space bar, and is capable of generating
all 128 ASCII characters. The keys are electronically
interlocked so that it is not possible to generate two
or more codes simultaneously. A beep tone sounds
each time a key is pressed (with the exception of the
SHIFT, LOK, CTL, and RPT keys). Because actual
printing may not occur at the same instant you press
a key (as with most typewriters), the beep tone
allows you to maintain your normal typing rhythm.
For descriptions of the Printer operation keys, see
Figure 3-5.
