3276/78 Emulation Mode
On
the
templates,
the
ttnames" for
the
keys
appear
in
one of two colors. Brown
labels
show
that
the
indicated
key
replaces
the
corresponding key on
the
HP
keyboard.
For
example,
the
CURSR SEL (Cursor Select) key replaces
the
II
key.
Although
the
ALT
(Alternate
Shift)
key
replaces
the
III key,
it
appears
in
blue
print.
For
keys
that
function
as
Alternate
Shift
keys,
you
must
simultaneously
press
the
ALT
key
and
the
corresponding
key
to select
that
function.
These
keys
also
appear
in
blue
print.
Since
the
way of accessing
certain
functions differ
between
their
HP
and
IBM
implementations,
the
blue color scheme quickly
identifies
all
Alternate
Shift
keys.
The
HP
2625A offers
support
for
the
following languages:
•
Danish
•
Dutch
•
English
(United
Kingdom)
•
English
(USASCII)
•
Finnish
•
French
•
French
Canadian
•
German
•
Italian
•
Norwegian
•
Spanish
• Swedish
With
the
national
languages,
the
templates
also show which keys
in
the
character
set
group
may
have
been
relocated.
NOTE: IBM offers no
support
for Dutch.
If
your
terminal
was
ordered
with
the
Dutch
keyboard
option,
your
terminal
will respond to
the
US
IBM codes
when
operating
in
its
IBM personality. Special
templates
compensate for
the
differences
between
the
HP
Dutch
keyboard
and
the
US
IBM templates.
IBM CHARACTER KEYS
The
3276 provides
three
keys
that
are
not
available on
standard
HP
keyboards.
These
keys
are
the
cent
sign
(¢),
the
split
vertical
bar
(I),
and
the
logical
not
sign
(
---,
).
Likewise, IBM
does
not
support
three
HP
USASCII characters:
the
left
bracket
(D,
the
right
bracket
(]),
and
the
circumflex (A). Therefore,
when
your
terminal
functions
as
an
IBM
terminal,
the
terminal
maps
the
left
bracket
into
the
cent
sign,
the
right
bracket
into
the
vertical
bar,
and
the
circumflex into
the
logical
not
sign. (The
template
for
the
character
set
group
shows all
ttreplaced" keys.) Besides
these
six keys,
the
characters
in
the
HP-USASCII
character
set
are
also
in
the
IBM-EBCDIC
character
set.
The following pages
summarize
the
keys of
the
IBM keyboard,
tell
which keys
are
supported,
and
describe
any
ttvisual" differences
between
the
implementations
offered by IBM
and
HP.
However, for conlplete
information
on key layouts
and
nomenclature,
you
should
refer
to
the
3270 Information Display System: Character
Set
Reference.
The
IBM
3270 Information Dis-
play System Component Description
provides
details
on
the
operation
of
each
key.
