7.1.2 Function Keys
There are 14 function keys on the front panel of the OmniScan MX. These keys
include up to three types of information, with each type of information being color-
coded as follows:
• White: a primary function when connected to either ECT or UT modules
• Yellow: alphabetical characters and symbols
• Green: numeric characters and signs
It is possible to use the function keys to enter alphabetical and numeric characters,
symbols, and signs in an edit field.
To enter alphanumeric values in an edit field, the edit field must first be selected. This
will cause the function keys to switch to alphanumeric mode, and the keypad
indicator light to flash orange (see “Keypad Indicator Light” on page 82). You can
then use the Start/Stop and Acquisition/Print keys to move the cursor forward and
backward inside the edit field.
