GENERAL INFORMATION
UBI External Keyboard
Technical Manual
Edition 2, April 1995
Article No. 1-960330-01
Application of Use
The External Keyboard (article number 1-200591-01) is an RS 232C
keyboard intended for connection to the range of UBI EasyCoder
printers:
EasyCoder 101
EasyCoder 201 II
EasyCoder 401
EasyCoder 501
EasyCoder 601
The keyboard can also be used for all older UBI printers, that can
be set up for the correct type of communication. The keyboard is
compatible with the previous type of external keyboard (article No.
1-200591-00).
The keyboard uses the following communication parameters:
Interface: RS 232C
Baud rate: 9600
Parity: None
Character length: 8
Stop bits: 2
The keyboard's communication cable is fitted with a female DB25
connector wired as follows:
Pin 1: Not used
Pin 2: RXD in
Pin 3: TXD out
Pin 4–6: Not used
Pin 7: Signal ground
Pin 8–15: Not used
Pin 16: + 5V
(must be enabled by a strap in the printer, see below)
Pin 17-25: Not used
The connector fits the standard serial port ”uart1:" on all printers,
and the serial port ”uart3:" on the Serial Interface Board or RS 422/
485 Interface Board for EasyCoder 201 II, EasyCoder 501 and
EasyCoder 601.
Note that the keyboard requires +5V from the printer, which must
be enabled by a strap on the CPU-board or interface board, see the
Technical Manual for the printer model in question.

KEYBOARD MAPPING
Unshifted
Shift key
The External Keyboard is a standard computer keyboard, which
has been converted to produce characters according to UBI's
specifications. Therefore, some keys are disabled, whereas others
are engraved with misleading designations. Below, you will find
illustrations of the keyboard, where the decimal ASCII characters
produced by the various keys or key combinations are specified.
For information on how to use the keyboard in connection with an
EasyCoder 101 SA, 201 IISA, or 501 SA printer, please refer to the
manual “UBI Stand Alone Concept; Operating Instructions”.
(That manual describes the previous type of keyboard, but the new
keyboard is, for all practical purposes, fully compatible).

Alt Gr
The Alt Gr key is used to produce a third character (in addition to
the unshifted and shifted characters) in combination with such keys
that are engraved on the front side (marked with black above). No
other key (e.g. Shift, Ctrl or Caps Lock) should be activated
simultaneously.

The keyboard can also produce unprintable characters in the range
below ASCII 32 decimal. Some of these characters are readily
available on dedicated keys, whereas other can be produced by
pressing the Ctrl key in connection with another key (marked with
black). Activation of other control keys (e.g. Shift, Alt Gr or Caps
Lock) has no consequence.

The Caps Lock key affects the keys marked with black in the
illustration above. When Caps Lock is activated alone, all charac-
ters on the affected keys will be uppercase. In combination with
Shift, Caps Lock makes all affected characters lower-case. Acti-
vation of any other control character (e.g. Ctrl or Alt Gr) has no
consequence.

Character Sets What printable character a certain key will produce depends on the
selected character set in the printer (default Roman 8). You can
select another character set by means of the
NASC statement, see the
UBI Fingerprint manuals. The various character sets are listed on
the pages that follow.
