Caps Lock vs. Shift Lock

The caps lock function is not the same as the shift lock function on a common

typewriter. Both eliminate the need to reach for SHIFT to type an uppercase (capital)

letter, but they differ in their effect on other keys.

The Keyboard Shift Function

You already know that holding down SHIFT and pressing 1 gives you the
exclamation mark.

Whilo

SHIFT

is pressed, the SHIFT indicator appears on the screen. The indicator

disappears as soon as you release

SHIFT.

The Shift Lock Function

If you press SHIFT LOCK, the SHIFT indicator is displayed permanently, and all the

characters you type are uppercase (A = “A”, 1 s: “!”). To release this mode, press
SHIFT.

The Caps Lock Function

When you need to type long strings of both capital letters

and

numbers, such as

“ACCT. NO. BC104”, press CODE + CAPS. The CAPS indicator will appear on the

screen to tell you that the keyboard is locked in capital mode (A = “A", but 1 = “

”). To

release lh‘s mode, press

CODE + CAPS

again.
