Dead Keys
Dead keys are used for diacritical marks (e.g. accents) that may be placed over typed
characters. The carrier does not move when a dead key is pressed, so the character
beneath the accent can be typed without having to backspace. When a dead key is pressed
in the underline mode, the dead key character will not be underlined.
Note!
When typing on the display, the dead character alternates with the base character. For
example même is displayed as:
merfie ^
^ ri'ieme
Superimposed Characters
On some occasions you may wish to superimpose two characters. For example, you may
wish to type a hyphen through a 7 to make a continental-style 7,
It's fairly obvious that you can do this in NORMAL and AUTO modes by backspacing and
typing the hyphen on top of the 7.
However, if you try to do this when typing on the display, backspacing deletes the 7.
To get around this:
1. Type the 7.
2.
Hold down
[CODE]
and press
[BKSP],
The 7 is not deleted.
3. Type the hyphen.
The 7 and the hyphen will alternate in the display, and both of them will be printed,
r —^ ~ —^ f'
Extra Characters
The extra characters printed in green on the bottom half of some of the keys are typed
by holding down the
[CODE]
key and pressing those keys.
A list of characters accessed by the code key is given in the Appendix.
