International Keypads

Entering characters on the four international keypads (French, German, Italian,
and Spanish) is the same as it is for the U.S. keypad. However, there are some
additional rules you need to know to use the JANUS 2050 international
keypads.

DOS Code Pages

You can translate all international keypads using an installed DOS code page.
DOS code pages contain the standard ASCII character set and a set of national
language characters specific to the language the code page supports. You can
find more information on DOS code pages in any DOS 5.0 manual. You can
switch DOS code pages on the JANUS 2050 using the following key sequences:
• c a l to change to U.S. key translations (default DOS configuration).
• c a m to change to the key translations based on the code page installed
for the JANUS 2050 (French, German, Italian, and Spanish).

the key. To enter the character printed above the key, press and release the f

identical to the Alt Gr key on PC international (non-U.S.) keyboards. To enter a
left-Alt, press and release the f key followed by the a key.
