Keyboard
On request, a keyboard can be connected to the printer. This considerably simplifies
entry of variable data, especially when dealing with text.
64-xx, DPM, PEM and ALX 92x of Generation 2 require an additional board for
connecting the keyboard, see chapter
Options board
on page 8. The Options board
provides a PS/2 connector; an USB-to-PS/2 adapter comes with the offered key-
boards.
The matching keyboard layout is set with parameter
SYSTEM PARAMETER > keyboard
.
Before first use, check if the intended keyboard really works with the printer.
Functional Description
Standalone operation means the printer can be operated without it needing to be con-
nected to a host computer. For this purpose, a PC is used to store the print job on a
CompactFlash card (memory card). After this card is plugged into the card slot at the
printer, the operator can start the print jobs on demand. For this, he uses the printer
control panel or a keyboard connected to the printer. Variable data can also be entered
via the control panel or the external keyboard.
The standalone mode can always be accessed from the „normal“ printer operation
(with online/offline mode and message mode). To do so, press the Online and Esc but-
tons simultaneously.
It is helpfull to imagine two consoles, between which can be switched by pressing On-
line+Esc.
