Carriage Return Key - Honeywell 200 Series Hardware Manual

I
SECTION VIII. OPERATOR'S CONSOLE
In the peripheral mode, if the STOP indicator is illuminated and the carriage is returned,
'-" holding down the TYPE button causes a sequence of characters to be typed out from memory.
"-"..,
Characters are typed out 16 to a line as long as the button is depressed. If the button is released
and then pressed again, the sequence will be continued without an intervening carriage return.
If the button is released before a character is completely typed out, the character is completed
by the console before the carriage comes to rest. If the TYPE button is released and the
Carriage Return key is pressed, pressing the TYPE button anew causes the sequence to be
continued at the beginning of the next line.
The starting address of the sequence is the address specified in the A or P operation
which should immediately precede the TYPE button depression. The contents of the control
memory register designated by the A or P operation are incremented by as many characters
. as are typed out.
If the TYPE button depres sion is not immediately preceded by an A or P operation, the
locations addressed and the effect on control memory cannot be specified. The TYPE button is
physically located so as to avoid accidental depression.
Carriage Return Key
This key is effective at all times except during programmed typeouts. Except while
logging, pressing the Carriage Return key does not in itself cause any change in the logical
behavior of the console.
It does, however, cause the carriage to return to the beginning of the
next line. The carriage return condition is a logical prerequisite for the following operations:
A, B, L, P, R, and S manual entries, and manually caused typeouts. Pressing the Carriage
Return key also cancels a partially keyed-in character when operating in the control mode. In
the logging mode, pressing the Carriage Return key terminates the logging operation. The
console typing paper continues to be vertically spaced as long as the Carriage Return key is
held down.
