SERIES 1000 OPERATING MODES
SYSTEM MODES
The Series 1000 system has two modes:
Direct Printout Mode
Command Mode
In Direct Printout Mode, the Series 1000 prints transactions on the data terminal as they are
completed. No commands are accepted from the keyboard except CTRL F, RETURN, or CTRL
B.
In Command Mode, you enter two-letter commands to input data, change data, or print reports on
the system. Unless otherwise specified, all commands are entered at the asterisk prompt.
The Series 1000 includes a help feature for referencing the available commands. An expanded
help feature provides the two-letter commands and brief descriptions of their functions. The HE
(help) command is described later in this section.
When you are in Command Mode, transactions do not print as they occur; instead they are stored
in memory and printed when the system returns to Direct Printout Mode.
