Introduction
This terminal can emulate a number of
ASCII and ANSI terminals, including
PC-Term. The keyboards supported by
the terminal are the 101/102 key
Extended-PC (EPC), the 106/107
PC/+, and the ASCII keyboards.
The dual host capability of the terminal
allows you to run two different
applications simultaneously.
Clock, calendar, calculator, ASCII chart,
and diagnostic desk accessories are
provided. Another feature is the selectable
overscan border which can provide bezel-
to-bezel video.
This terminal also features an easy-to-
use Setup menu. Travel between
menus is facilitated by function keys,
the first letter of the menu name, or
the ENTER and SHIFT-ENTER keys.

Keyboards
The “PC” keyboards, including the EPC (101/102-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 ASCII keyboard varies from the PC keyboard styles mainly in that it features 28
edit keys and 16 function keys.
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 Appendix A for a
complete list of local functions.)
