Introducing the HP 2624A
The United States (USASCII) keyboard is the standard
keyboard. As an option, you can order any of the following
international keyboards instead:
Swedish/Finnish (Option 001)
Danish/Norwegian (Option 002)
French (Option 003)
German (Option 004)
United Kingdom (Option 005)
Spanish (Option 006)
If you order any of the above keyboards, then your terminal
automatically includes the appropriate language char-
acter ROM. For the French and Spanish keyboards, you
select the following options by way of the configuration
process:
French AZERTY layout with mute keys
French QWERTY layout with mute keys
French AZERTY layout without mute keys
French QWERTY layout without mute keys
Spanish with mute keys
Spanish without mute keys
THE FUNCTION KEYS
Across the top ofthe keyboard are eight keys labeled . .
through . . . The functions performed by these keys
change dynamically as you use the terminal. At any given
time, the applicable function labels for these keys appear
across the bottom of the display screen (figure 1-3).
When you press the. key the eight function keys become
mode selection keys (figure 1-4). In this c;apacity you may
use them to enable and disable various terminal operating
modes (such as remote mode and display functions mode).
Each mode selection key alternately enables and disables a
particular mode. When the mode is enabled, an asterisk (
appears in the associated screen label. At power-on . .
through . . are automatically initialized as mode selec-
.
tion keys.
When you press the . . key, the eight function keys
become general control keys that you use for configuring
the terminal, setting and clearing margins and tab stops,
enabling and disabling display enhancements, defining
data entry fields, and so forth. The entire set of system
function key labels is illustrated in figure 1-5. Pressing . .
always reinitializes . . through . . to the top row of
functions (labels) shown in figure 1-5.
In using the system function keys, keep in mind the follow-
ing two conventions:
1. If a key label contains any lowercase letters, pressing it
will transfer you to another level of system function
keys.
2. If a key label contains only uppercase letters, pressing it
will perform the function suggested by the key label.
"LEFT MARGIN",
for example, sets the left margin at the
current cursor position whereas
"!!ervice key!!"
transfers
you to the terminal self-test function keys.
When you press the . . and
8iJ
keys simultaneously, the
user keys definition menu (figure 1-6) appears on the
screen. By filling in this menu you can define the screen
(.
label and functional characteristics for eight user keys. In
the same manner, you can also redefine the functional
characteristics of the _
key. To enable the eight user
keys, press the
8iJ
key. Figure 1-7 shows the default user
key screen labels and figure 1-8 shows some sample user-
supplied user key screen labels.
