3.3.1 Accessing Alpha Characters
On 44-key 7035s, all alpha characters are printed on the terminal plastic in orange
letters, above and to the left of the keyboard keys. The orange print indicates that
you must first press the <ORANGE> key, and then press the key above which the
alpha character you want to access is printed.
As an example:
• To access the letter ‘c’, press the <ORANGE> key and then press
the ‘7’ key.
• To access the letter ‘t’, press the <ORANGE> key and then press
function key <F10>.
Creating Uppercase Letters
To display an uppercase letter:
• Press the <ORANGE> key and then the <SHIFT> key before typing an
alpha character.
Important: Remember to unlock the <ORANGE> key when it is no longer
required. You need to press this key a second time to unlock or
turn it off. Refer to “Key Lock Function” on page 52 for a com-
plete description of this function.
You can change the default key lock function of the <ORANGE>
key using the “One-Shot Mode” parameter (see “One-Shot
Mode” on page 121).
3.3.2 Accessing Function Keys
The 44-key 7035 has 36 function keys, the first 12 of which are directly accessible
on the keyboard. The remaining 24 require key combinations.
Accessing Function Keys <F1> To <F12>
Function keys <F1> to <F12> are directly accessible by pressing the appropriate
key on the keyboard – that is, a key combination is not required to access these
function keys.
