Section 2. Installation
To install the 3274 Entry Assist function requires three actions:
• The 3274 Control Unit with Configuration Support D must be
customized to enable the Entry Assist function. See the 3274
Control Unit Customizing Guide, GA23-0065, for the procedure
to follow.
• Stick-on labels (32 sets of six labels, which are shipped with the
control unit) must be affixed to attached keyboards.
Alternatively, replacement key tops (which can be ordered) can
be used on the 3278 and 3279 keyboards.
• If the RPQ 8K1038 keyboard is to be used, RPQ 8K1230 or
8K1231 must be installed.
If
used, the stick-on labels (GX23-0230) supplied with
Configuration Support D control units must be affixed to the
keyboard keytops as indicated by the bold-outlined blocks in Figure
1. Before a label is affixed, the key top should be washed with soap
and water and allowed to dry thoroughly. The individual key top
labels should be picked off the label form with a sharp-pointed knife
(or a sitnilar device) and positioned on the keytop. The label should
then be pressed down with a fingertip.
Entry Assist users desiring more permanent keyboard installations
on 3278 and 3279 display units only can purchase Accessory Kit PN
1742774, which contains eight sets of five replacement keytops
engraved for use with Entry Assist, a keytop extractor tool, and
Keytop Replacement Instructions (GA23-0120).
