Entering Data Using the Keypad
The display clears with the first key pressed and "MAKING KEY ENTRY"
displays on line two of the LED display. Key-in numbers of the bar code, then
press enter. The scanner will "beep" to indicate that the data was sent to the
host computer.
To make changes while keying in the numbers, use the up and down arrow
keys. The up arrow acts the same as the space bar on a computer keyboard. It
places a space at the current cursor position and increments the cursor to the
next character position. The down arrow acts the same as a backspace key on a
computer keyboard. It places a space in the previous character position and
deletes any character that might be there thus becoming the new cursor
position.
Although only numeric keys are shown on the keypad, alphanumeric charac-
ters can be entered by first pressing a Function key then a Numeric key.
F1 Upper left-hand character set
F2 Upper right-hand character set
F3 Bottom left-hand character set
Example:
Press F1 then 7 to get A (F1 + 7 = A)
Press F2 then 3 to get @ (F2 + 3 = @)
Press F3 then 4 to get L (F3 + 4 = L)
