Suspending Macro Playback; Erasing All Program Information In The Keyboard - Gateway 386/33 User Manual

3-20 Gateway 2000 386/33 Computer System User's Guide
Suspending macro playback
You can have the AnyKey keyboard send either the
normal keystrokes, or macros. This lets you program
macros into keys which you may need to use normally
from time to time. For example, you may want to pro-
gram macros for the function keys. However, when you
use an application that also uses the function keys, you
can turn all of the macros off to access the application's
function key command set.
How to suspend macro playback
Your keyboard normally powers up with the macros
available. This mode is indicated by a lit (but not flash-
ing) Program LED. To turn playback mode off, press the
Suspend Macro key. The Program LED goes off, and
macros are not sent whena programmed key is pressed.
How to reactivate macro playback
To turn playback mode on again, press the Suspend
Macro key when the Program LED is off. The LED lights
and the keyboard resumes sending the macros pro-
grammed into any keys you press.
Erasing all program information in the keyboard
You can erase all macro and remap information stored
in the keyboard at any time by holding down the Ctrl
and Alt keys and then pressing the Suspend Macro key.
The Program LED flashes for a few seconds while the
keyboard erases all programmed information and reini-
tializes. When the LED stops flashing, the process is
complete, and you may continue typing, reprogram-
ming the keys, etc.
