CENTRAL KEYBOARD
Just beneath the display are five other keys with the following functions:
SCAN: this key is used to trigger the bar code reader and is
active only if enabled by the appropriate software.
ARROW KEYS: these are the only 4 circular keys located just
beneath the LCD display; they correspond to the arrows used
to move the cursor on a standard PC, but have the following
added functions when preceded by the FUNC or SHIFT keys:
The [FUNC]-[ARROW] sequences emulate the Page Up/Down Home and End keys
on a PC keyboard.
The [SHIFT]-[ARROW] sequences are used to vertically and horizontally scroll
through the information displayed on the LCD display.
To keep the scroll function active for the arrow keys, activate the SCROLL function
with the [FUNC]-[Z] sequence.
Pressing the [FUNC]-[Z] sequence again will return the arrow keys to their pre-
defined function.
