Chapter 5. Entry Assist
The Entry Assist function enhances data entry, formatting, and editing on the 1483. Access
to the Entry Assist function with the 104-key, and 122-key keyboards is achieved by
pressing the ExSel key, followed by the F13 or PF13 (Document-On/Off) key. For displays
attached to 102/103-key keyboards, press the Alt key and the ExSel key followed by
the F1 or PF1 key. Extended Select mode is entered when the ExSel key is pressed. In
Extended Select mode, the following keys become redefined to perform the Extended
Select functions.
Note: Entry Assist is a controller feature, available only if the 1483 is attached to a
controller that supports Entry Assist capability.
* The Entry Assist keys shown in the table are not valid if the 122-key keyboard is set
to emulate an 88-key keyboard. To change the keyboard setting, refer to the Offline
Keyboard menu (Figure 3-6 on Page 3-12).
