Alphanumeric Keys
Alphanumeric keys are used to enter alphanumeric characters into
response fields that do not have predefined selections. Each key is assigned
up to four characters, and is designed to allow single-finger keyboard
entries.
To enter a character, repeatedly press a key to step through its assigned
characters, for example, D E F 8, until the desired character is displayed.
The cursor will automatically advance to the next space after a one-second
pause or after another key has been pressed. The left arrow key may be
used to backspace the cursor to correct errors.
A blank space in the field may be entered in one of three ways:
• Press the right arrow key after the cursor has advanced one space.
• Press the right arrow key immediately after entering the last char-
acter before the space. The cursor will then advance two spaces.
• Press the Space key to advance the cursor one space and/or delete
an existing character.
