Keypad
The QWERTY keypad is phosphorescent. A phosphorescent keypad does not use a keypad backlight but glows in dim/dark
areas after exposure to a light source.
Key Functions
Scan
(Scanner integrated into endcaps only.) The Scan key activates the scanner when a scanner endcap is installed and the Scan
button is pressed. The internal scanner scans only when the Scan button is pressed. A Scan button press has no effect on
externally attached scanners. See previous section titled “Programmable Buttons.” When there is no integrated scanner
endcap, the Scan keys function as Enter keys. For IBM 5250 configurations, the left button is the “Field Exit” key.
Enter
The Enter key is used to confirm a forms entry or to transmit information. How it is used is determined by the application
running on the computer.
2nd
The 2nd key is used to activate the 2nd functions of the keypad. Printed on many keys at the upper left corner are small
characters that represent the 2nd function of that key. Using the 2nd key activates the second key function. Note that the 2nd
key only stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use the 2nd function you must press the 2nd key. To cancel a
2nd function before pressing another key, press the 2nd key again.
When the 2nd function is active, the 2nd LED illuminates.
Ctrl
The Ctrl key enables the control functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Control key. Note that
the Ctrl key only stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use a Ctrl function, you need to press the Ctrl key
before pressing the desired key.
When the Ctrl function is active, the Ctrl LED illuminates.
Alt
The Alt key enables the alternate functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Alt key. Note that the
Alt key only stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use an alternate function, you need to press the Alt key
before pressing the desired key.
When the Alt function is active, the Alt LED illuminates.
