About Turbo Code
®
Turbo Code is an enhanced version of Baudot Code. It sends
signals to other Turbo Code TTYs as fast as you can type.The
Miniprint 425 takes care of connecting in Turbo Code or
Baudot code, depending on which code the other TTY is
using. It only uses Turbo Code with other Turbo Code TTYs.
Turbo Code also allows you to use the special “shift”
characters on the top row of your TTY keyboard (example: @
# % ^ & * _ < >). If your call is connected in Baudot, these
characters cannot be received or printed at the other end of
the line.This is yet another example of why Turbo Code is
better for TTY communication than Baudot—especially in the
day of sharing your email address.
You know you are connected in Turbo Code when a dot
appears in the lower left-hand corner of the display.
If necessary, you can turn off Turbo Code at any time. If you
do, the Miniprint 425 will not use it. Follow these steps to
turn off Turbo Code:
1. Press the options key ( + ).You will see PRINT
(UP/LOW) CASE on the display.
2. Press the key until you see TURBO CODE ( ON) on
the display.
3. Press the to change the setting to OFF.
4. Press the key to leave options.Turbo Code is now
turned off until you turn it on again.
Note: During a call, you may temporarily turn off Turbo Code
and switch to Baudot (45) code by pressing the key, the
key, and the key all at the same time ( + + ).
