Special Characters

The keypads can be selected as necessary to support specialized applications. The keypads contain a Power button, application keys, scroll keys and function keys. The keypad is color-coded to indicate the alternate function key (blue/orange) values. The following table details special character generation. Characters can also be generated using the keyboard input panel.
Shift-1 through Shift-0 only applies to the Standard 53-key keyboard. On the 5250, 3270, and VT 53-key keyboards the Shift + <num> combinations generate F11-F20 keys.
