Abstract
A personal computer or workstation is provided with an arrangement whereby the workstation keyboard and printer can be made to emulate the operation of a standard typewriter. The printer associated with the workstation is adapted to receive the workstation keyboard and to hold it in front of the platen and print head at an angle that approximates the angle of a standard typewriter keyboard, while software within the workstation, when called into operation, causes the printer to respond to the keyboard on a keystroke-by-keystroke basis.
