blanks as specified by the program, and the cursor advances to the next input
field.
When the CapsLock key is pressed, alphabetic characters (A through Z) are
entered in uppercase. If the Shift key is pressed while CapsLock is enabled,
typing an alphabetic key causes a lowercase letter to be entered. Typing a
non-alphabetic key with a Shift key pressed causes the character on the top half
of the key to be entered.
To return the keyboard to lower shift, press the CapsLock key again.
When either of Shift keys is pressed and held down:
•
The alphabetic characters (A through Z) are entered as uppercase letters.
•
The symbols on the top of the numeric keys and the punctuation marks on
the upper half of the other keys are entered.
The reset function (activated by pressing the Reset key) is used to (1) unlock the
keyboard when locked because of an error condition and (2) end the function
key, help, insert, and system request functions.
The Reset function does not unlock a keyboard that is locked by the host system.
The quit function (activated by pressing and holding the Alt key, then by
pressing the Quit key) ends a recording sequence or a playback sequence (for
more details, refer to Chapter 5, "Operations Using the IBM Enhanced
Keyboard").
This key is also used to stop the printing operation and cancel the remainder of
the print file in printer setup mode. The attached printer then starts printing the
top of the next file.
The new line function (activated by pressing and holding a Shift key and then
pressing the Field Exit key) is used to move the cursor to the first input position
of the first input field on the next line (usually the leftmost position of the next
line).
