Buttons Preferences
The Buttons Preferences screen enables you to associate different applications with the
buttons on the front of the SPT 1700 terminal.
For example, if you find that you seldom use the To Do List application and often use the
Expense application, you can assign the To Do List button to start the Expense application.
Any changes you make in the Buttons Preferences screen become effective immediately; you
do not have to change to a different screen or application.
