The “PC” keyboards, including the EPC (101-key) and the PC/+ (106/107-key), are
similar in style and feature a number of key groups.
The alphanumeric keypad is the main typewriter keypad, while the function key
group lies along the top of the keyboard and can be programmed locally or downloaded
from the host. The numeric keypad is the calculator-style set of keys on the right-hand
side of the keyboard, used to enter numeric data.
The cursor and edit keypads, located to the left of the numeric keypad, allows users to
edit text and move around in the document. The communication key group, above
the edit keypad, is used to control communications with the host or printer.
The ANSI keyboard varies from the PC keyboard styles mainly in that it features 20
function keys, a set of PF-keys, and a different style numeric keypad.
For each keyboard, there is a set of local “hot-keys.” They perform a variety of
terminal functions, such as “Print Screen” and “Enter Setup.” (See the Appendix for
a complete list of local functions.)
