Using the TE 2000 Keypads
The 2435 supports TE 2000 VT100/220/320/340 and ANSI, TE 2000
5250, and TE 2000 3270. When you order a TE 2000 application, you
also receive the appropriate TE 2000 keypad overlay. TE 2000 keypad
overlays let you enter the same keys that you can enter from a VT/ANSI
keyboard, an IBM 5250 keyboard, or an IBM 3270 keyboard.
Like the 39-key function numeric, the 57-key alphanumeric keypad, and
the 48-key large alphanumeric overlays, the TE 2000 keypad overlay lets
you enter all the characters printed on or above the keys. For help, see
“Typing the Characters Printed on the Keypad” on page 14. The TE 2000
keypad overlays also come with the same special keys that are on the 39-
key function numeric, 57-key alphanumeric keypad, and 48-key large
alphanumeric overlays. For help, see “Finding the Special Keys” on page
13. For help using TE 2000, see the appropriate TE 2000 guide.
Using the Screen
You can use the terminal’s screen to view data, run applications, monitor
the terminal’s status, and perform many other functions. The CGA-
compatible screen is a backlit LCD that is configurable up to 21 lines by
32 characters. The screen also supports double-byte characters, user-
programmable fonts, and bitmap graphics.
Note: If you have the status icons enabled, the screen is configurable up to
21 lines by 31 characters. For more information about the status icons, see
“Learning About the Status Icons” on page 21.
The 243X screen has versatile display features that allow you to resize the
screen based on operator preference and work environment. For help, see
“Display Spacing” in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual.
You can also use the keypad to change the backlight and display contrast.
