Typography
There are two types of keys on the DPM. A hard key
has a specific function which is indicated on the key.
The key names for hard keys are set in bold typeface,
e.g. Press the ON key.
Speed keys, which appear under the display, have a
different label depending upon the function selected.
The names appear at the bottom of the display,
directly above the corresponding key. The key names
for speed keys are set in bold italic typeface, e.g. Press
the SCALE Key. In this manual, speed keys will also
be referred to by number, with speed key 1 being the
key on the left. Figure 2 on page 2 shows these speed
key numbers.
