16-KEY DK MODEL
If the ‘Enable Normal Batch’ barcode is read, the FUNCTION KEY1 (F1) is automatically re-configured to toggle between
the two different operative modes described in the following paragraphs. The mnemonic label associated to the F1 is Bat
(abbreviation of batch).
Operative modes:

INSERT MODE – this is the common data entry mode and will reflect the operative mode of the system (Quantity
Mode, Simple Data Input Mode). All data scanned via barcode or entered on the keyboard will be batched in the
persistent memory. Functions keys F2 - F4 maintain their programmed functions.

SCROLL MODE – in this mode the user can see and can delete previously inserted data. The action of the function
keys changes to reflect the different user mode. It will be:
Function Key Action Label
F1 toggles between INSERT MODE
and SCROLL MODE Bat
F2 Scroll up ↑
F3 deletes the currently shown data
from the batch Del
F4 Scroll down ↓
After pressing F1 again, the operative mode moves back to "Insert Mode" and the function keys F2-F4 are returned to
their originally programmed functions.
Note that the 16-key DK saves the automatic batch in RAM, while the normal batch mode saves to Flash. When entering
normal batch mode on the 16-key via programming label, the display shows the message "Flash Erase" to describe the
initialization.
