6.1 BASIC KEY FUNCTIONS AND KEYBOARD VARIATIONS IN PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
6.1 BASIC KEY FUNCTIONS AND KEYBOARD VARIATIONS IN
PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
6.1.1 Basic Key Functions
1. The following are main keys and their functions to be used in programming operations:
[X] or [@/FOR].......... Used to enter the program Submode No. The [X] Key is usually labeled as [@/FOR] on
the ECR Keyboard.
[ST] ........................... Used to enter the Address No. or Item Code. Also used to end the item data entries.
[#].............................. Used to enter data for the address or item. Each character code is also entered through
this key.
[AT/TL] ..................... Used to end the entire program Submode sequence.
2. Functions of the [C] key:
• When an entered program data is already printed, the [C] key cannot clear it any longer. To correct the
data, re-enter it.
• Before the entered data is printed, the data may be cleared by the [C] key.
6.1.2 Keyboard Variations in Programming operations
The MA-1450 provides several keyboards for programming operations. Depending on which keyboard is used,
the key layout and the character entry method will vary.
Case 1: When the ECR Keyboard is Ordinary Keyboard Type (Stroke-key Type):
1-1 When the Ordinary keyboard alone is used for programming, follow the instructions as they are
described in this manual. For character settings, use the CHARACTER CODE TABLES (later stated).
None of the DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY methods are possible.
1-2 When the Programming Keyboard TKB-1 (hardware option) is connected:
1) Character Keys provided on the TKB-1 keyboard may be used to directly enter the characters.
(DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY method). Any characters not provided on the TKB-1 keyboard (and
those provided as well) may be entered through the Numeric Keys and the [#] key on the ECR
keyboard, referring to the CHARACTER CODE TABLE.
2) Basic Function Keys ([C], [X], [ST], [AT/TL]) may be depressed either on the TKB-1 or the ECR
keyboard. If any other keys not provided on the TKB-1 are required in programming, operate them
on the ECR keyboard (such as Department Keys, [DP#], [PLU], etc.).
1-3 When the PLU Keyboard PK-2 (hardware option) is connected:
1) Character Keys provided on the PK-2 Character Setting Sheet may be used to directly enter the
characters (DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY method) . Any characters not provided there (and those
provided as well) may be entered, in the CHARACTER CODE ENTRY method, through the Numeric
Keys and the [#] key on the ECR keyboard.
2) All Function keys ([C], [X], [ST], [AT/TL], [DP#], etc.) must be operated on the ECR keyboard.
3) In the following operations, however, the Character Setting Sheet should be removed and the keys
on the PK-2 are used as PLU Preset-code Keys:
