2. ENTER “HOT KEY PROGRAMMING”
MODE
To enter the “hot key programming” mode, the user must input the
“
hot key
” and identify the key on the programmable keyboard to be
programmed. The so-called “
hot key
” is a special combination of keys
pressed on the standard PC or PS-2 keyboard. In KB3200 series, the “hot
key” is defined as pressing and holding the
left “Alt”
key while pressing
the
“PRT SC”
(“Print Screen”) key on the PC or PS-2 keyboard. And by
doing so, the programmable keyboard will give 2 beeps to notify that it is
ready to receive the identification of which key to be programmed. Right
after the “
hot key
” is released, the user shall press the key to be
programmed on the programmable keyboard once to identify which key
to be programmed. If the “
hot key
” is pressed for the second time or the
“
Esc
” key is pressed prior to the press of the key on the programmable
keyboard, this mode will be aborted immediately. The user should not
enter the “hot key programming” mode when the programmable
keyboard is already fully loaded (no more free memory for further
programming) by the key contents previously programmed.
3. INPUT THE CONTENT
TO BE PROGRAMMED
Once the programmable keyboard enters the “hot key
programming” mode with the key to be programmed identified, what the
user types on the standard PC or PS-2 keyboard will be taken for the
content to be programmed into that key of the programmable keyboard
till the user exits the “hot key programming” mode.
The legal input in this mode includes all
alphabetical letters
(including both upper and lower cases),
numerical digits
(applicable
only for keys at the area above the alphabetical keys and excluding those
on the numerical keypad),
symbols
(such as `!”#$ and excluding those
arithmetic signs in the numerical keypad) and the “
enter
” key. The
“
shift
” key, the “
caps lock
” key and the “
back space
” key are also
accepted in this mode to serve an editing purpose (for example, pressing
“back space” will erase the last character of the input instead of being
treated as a character for input). Pressing the “
Esc
” key in this mode will
abort the “hot key programming” mode immediately. All the rest keys
