Alternate Keyboards Complete this chapter only If you have a printwheel for other languages, ASCII (PC) or Latin Supplemental ISO. Your typewriter has primary and alternate keyboards. You have already been using your primary keyboard. • The primary keyboard allows you to type In your own language. Your typewriter automatically sets your primary keyboard to match the keybuttons on your typewriter. • Alternate keyboards, when used with the appropriate printwheels, allow you to type in other languages such as French and Spanish, or ASCII (PC) and Latin Supplemental ISO. Matching Printwheels and Keyboards Each printwheel for alternate keyboards contains characters other than those printed on your typewriter keybuttons. You can access characters of an alternate keyboard by typing a keyboard change called a keyboard identification (ID) number. The keyboard ID is printed on al€ printwheels. When more than one set of numbers is shown, the first number is the keyboard ID; for example: 001-008. The keyboard ID for the United States is 001 or 1. Look at the example below.
