ON KEY...GOSUB

Many Fingerprint-compatible EasyCoder printer models are pro-

vided with a built-in keyboard. However, unless there is a program

running in the printer, e.g. the Stand-Alone program or Shell, the

keys have no purpose (with the exception of <Print>, <Feed>, and

<Setup/Save> keys, which work in the Immediate Mode). To make

use of the keyboard, each key must be enabled individually by

means of a KEY ON statement and then be assigned to a subroutine

using an ON KEY GOSUB statement. The subroutine should

contain the instructions you want to be performed when the key is

pressed.

In the statements KEY (<id.>), ON KEY (<id.>) OFF, and ON

KEY (<id.>) GOSUB..., the keys are specified by id. numbers

enclosed by parentheses, see chapter 15.1.

Note that ON KEY...GOSUB excludes input from the printer's

keyboard (see chapter 7.6) and vice versa.

This example shows how the two keys <F1> (id. No. 10) and <F2>

(id. No. 11) are used to change the printer's setup in regard of

printout contrast.
