97cab Produkttechnik GmbH & Co KG / Tharo Systems, Inc.Key AssignmentThe A8 can easily be adjusted to the keyboard configuration of the particularcountry by using the setup parameter "Country". For each of the availablesettings the A8 has a different table of key assignment, which, generally,complies with the assignment under Microsoft DOS.The [ALTGR] key has no function. Therefore, all signs which are located on theright hand side of the key opposite of the normal characters (e.g. { } [ ] \) canbe generated by pressing the [ALT] key.A few of the other special signs (e.g. ¨ × ÷) may also be generated the sameway (see appendix A, table A-3a).Other special characters (e.g. ñ ç œ) can be generated by inserting twocharacters one after the other, where the second input is a combination withthe [ALT] key (see appendix A, table A-3b).Some of the special characters cannot be shown in the display of the printer. Inthat case, the A8 will use a character which looks similar to the requiredcharacter.NOTICE !When using a scanner, the character set of the scanner has to be thesame as used by the A8.Special Key Functions[F1] To enter the list of labels stored on the memory card.[F2] To repeat the print of the last label (as command A 1 CR).[F3] To repeat the print of the last label including a new enquiry for variable data.[Shift]+[F5] To start the monitor mode/ASCII dump mode.[Shift]+[F6] To start the self test printout.[F7] Printer Info Display[F8] Form feed[ENTER] or Without a current print job : to switch between ONLINE and OFFLINE;[RETURN] While processing a print job : to confirm the data input.[ESC] To cancel the data input.(while printing same effect as CANCEL)[SPACE] While printing same effect as PAUSE.[Shift]+[Del] To delete the input line.[·], [‚] To scroll up/down the list of labels on the memory card.
