Using the Keypad
The terminal has five keypad options:
•
English alphanumeric keypad
•
Western European alphanumeric keypad
•
IBM 3270 terminal emulation keypad
•
IBM 5250 terminal emulation keypad
•
VT100/220/320 and ANSI terminal emulation keypad
All five alphanumeric keypads have 56 keys. Although the keypad is smaller than a
desktop terminal keyboard, you use special keys on the T2420 and T2425 keypad to
access all the keys and functions you need.
The Western European alphanumeric keypad has keys to support English and Western
European languages, such as French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and others.
You use special keys and key sequences to access the characters in each language.
A terminal emulation (TE) keypad comes with the TE option you ordered for the T2425.
Each TE keypad is similar to the standard alphanumeric keypad, but contains additional
keys that are available on an IBM 3270 keyboard, IBM 5250 keyboard, or VT/ANSI
keyboard.
Note: The terminal emulation keypads are currently available in English only.
Finding the Special Keys
Before you use the terminal’s keypad, make sure you can find all of the different types of
keys on the keypad. You need to use these special keys on all five keypad options.
The special keys that you use to type characters or perform functions are explained in the
next sections. You can use the Backlight key to turn on the backlight, change the display
contrast, and change the beep volume. For help, see “Adjusting the Screen From the
Keypad” later in this chapter.
