6. PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS

6.2 Character Entries
As already stated, there are two methods of operations for character settings for names or messages:
CHARACTER CODE ENTRY Method and DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY Method.
CHARACTER CODE ENTRY Method
This method is to set a character by entering a Character Code and depressing the
[#]
key. This method is
allowed in either of Case 1 and Case 2, but is operated only on the ECR keyboard (Ordinary Type or Flat
Type).
DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY Method
This method is to set a character by directly depressing the Character Key on any of the following keyboard:
• Flat Keyboard (ECR Keyboard Flat Type) with “Setting Mode Key Layout” sheet
(refer to Case 2)
• PK-2 Keyboard (PLU Keyboard; hardware option)
By using those character keys, the characters are directly entered. In this manual, sample operations are
attached to most of the programming operations. And at name or message programming portions, characters
are entered by the CHARACTER CODE ENTRY method. Instead of this, you may depress the Character
Keys. For example, instead of entering 401
[#]
(to enter character “A”), you may simply depress Character
Key “A” on any of the above three keyboards.
On the following pages, Character Code Tables under the CHARACTER CODE ENTRY Method and three
different keyboards under the DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY Method are shown. These pages are to be
referred to, every time the “Character Entries” sequence is contained in various programming operations in
this manual.
Read through these pages at least once first, so that you may know the appropriate method of character
entries using the ECR keyboard and/or option keyboards.
