IBM 1483DSV User Manual

The Shift Lock key does not override the Numeric Lock feature.

The Keystroke Record/Playback function enables you to reduce the number of
keystrokes required for a frequently repeated entry such as a logon sequence or an address.
Keystroke sequences can be stored for each of the Function keys. The combined total
of stored keystrokes cannot exceed 7000 and the Shift key and Alt key each count as two
keystrokes. The entered keystroke sequences are stored in nonvolatile memory, which
means that the data is retained even if the power is turned off.

Calculator keystrokes can be recorded with the Record/Playback feature. Entering
Calculator mode, importing data, doing calculations, exporting data, and exiting Calculator
mode can all be recorded. The only limitation is that the status of the calculator (on or
off) to begin playback must be the same as when the record sequence was started.

Keystroke sequences are stored by keying as follows:

1) Press the Record key. R, a number indicating the available keystroke storage space,

and the Record key indicator are displayed on the operator status row.

2) Press an F or PF key. The selected key number is displayed on the operator status

row along with the number of keystrokes that have already been assigned to that
key, if any. The key number is displayed in high intensity. At this point, you can
press the Record key or the Quit key to exit to Online mode.

3) If keystrokes are already assigned to this key, you can clear them by pressing the

Delete key (

). The keystrokes are deleted and you exit to Online mode. If you do

not want to delete the previously assigned sequence, press Record and choose another
Function key. While you are entering keystrokes, press the Quit key to clear the
currently recorded keystrokes and exit to Normal mode.

4) Begin typing the keystroke sequence. If the selected Function key has no keystrokes

previously assigned to it, the number on the status row decreases by one each time
you press a key. The number decreases by two every time you press a Shift or Alt
key.

To record a .25-second pause after a keystroke, press the Record Wait key. The
Record Wait key is only on the 122-key keyboard. It is the leftmost key on the
bottom row of the left keypad and has a blank face. You can press the Record Wait
key several times to increase the length of the pause.
