The External Keyboard is a standard computer keyboard, which
has been converted to produce characters according to UBI's
specifications. Therefore, some keys are disabled, whereas others
are engraved with misleading designations. Below, you will find
illustrations of the keyboard, where the decimal ASCII characters
produced by the various keys or key combinations are specified.
For information on how to use the keyboard in connection with an
EasyCoder 101 SA, 201 IISA, or 501 SA printer, please refer to the
manual “UBI Stand Alone Concept; Operating Instructions”.
(Thatmanualdescribesthe previous typeofkeyboard,butthenew
keyboard is, for all practical purposes, fully compatible).
