Some Kverbs send stuff, some don't. There is a list of Kverbs here:

in which you can see a short description of each Kverb.

Up-arrow sends an escape sequence to the host. Page up scrolls the emulator
screen locally and does not send anything to the host.

See the list. Strictly speaking, you can put any Kverb in an OUTPUT command,
and in most cases it perform its action when the OUTPUT command is executed.
But that does not mean it will send anything to the other computer.
Example 1: OUTPUT \Kuparr sends whatever characters the Up Arrow key would
send, which depends on the active emulation and cursor keypad state.
Example 2: OUTPUT \Kupscn scrolls the command back one screen and sends
nothing to the other computer.
