The rest of this section explains basic procedures for editing 8500C/C+ printout annotations.
8.3.2 Alpha and Numeric Editing Modes
The annotation editor can operate in one of two modes, each of which assigns different functions to the
8500C/C+ keypad keys. In alpha mode each key is mapped to the value of the character printed on the
upper left corner of the key. Pressing the key displays the appropriate character at the current curso
position.
In the numeric mode the numeric keypad keys assume the values of the printed numbers. Pressing the
key thus displays the appropriate number at the current cursor position. The
SHOW/HIDE
,
HELP
,
PRINT
, and
MORE KEYS
keys revert back to their primary functions. Other keys are mapped to th
special characters printed on the lower right corner of the key (see Table8-1).
Toggle the
<ALPHA>
/
<NUMERIC>
soft key to switch between the alpha and numeric editing modes.
Note that in numeric mode there are several additional soft keys that may be accessed through the
MORE KEYS
key.
