Introducing the 246X Stationary Terminal
1-7
1
Modifier
This status light indicates that one of the modifier keys on the keyboard is
active. The modifier key is stored in the keyboard buffer until you press another key.
When you press a second key, the key combination is entered into the terminal and the
status light turns off. Examples of modifier keys include Ctrl, Alt, and Shift. You can
also use the Status Lights Control reader command to turn this status light on and off.
For help, see “Status Lights Control” in Chapter 7.
G
Power
This status light remains off when you have power to the terminal, a charged
backup battery, and the terminal is on. The light blinks when the backup battery has a
low power charge or if you try to turn on the terminal with no external power supply
connected to the terminal. The Power status light turns off once the backup battery
charges. For help, see "Learning About the Power Supply and Backup Battery" later in
this chapter.
Understanding the Terminal’s Status Beeps
The 246X terminal has an internal speaker to emit beep sequences as you use the
terminal. You can change the audio volume to meet the needs of your working
environment by scanning bar code labels.
To raise or lower the beep volume, scan one of these bar codes repeatedly
Lower Beep Volume Raise Beep Volume
*$+BV8* * *$+BV9*
*$+BV8* *$+BV9*
Note: If the Beep Volume is turned off, you will not hear any status beeps or keyclicks.
For more information on changing the beep volume, see the Beep Volume command in
Chapter 8, “Configuration Command Reference.” Use this table to understand the
meaning of each beep sequence:
