Chapter 5 – Keypad Utility Program
The keypad utility program allows users to redefine any or all of the keypad keys on
the unit with new scan codes, using utility software. You must use an external full-
stroke PC/AT keyboard to access the utility. This chapter explains how to load the
keypad utility, and details how the program’s pull-down menus work. Also included
in this chapter are the default keypad scan codes.
Note
Your external full-stroke PC/AT keyboard cannot be redefined by running the
keypad utility.
Note
The keypad switch arrays are disabled while the keypad utility is running.

utility will not run in a Windows environment.
The keypad utility is on the “Documentation & Support Library” CD that shipped
with your computer. You will find the self-extracting zip file, Keypad Utility 1.1
142606-001.exe
, in the folder:
DRIVERS\Keypad Software\Keypad Utility 1.1 142606-001
If your computer is running DOS (revision 3.2 or better), create a subdirectory on
your hard drive for the files, and extract the files on the disk into that subdirectory.
To run the utility, go to the subdirectory and type
kp3util
at the DOS prompt.
If your computer is not running DOS, you will need to extract the files onto a
DOS-bootable diskette. The diskette is then inserted into the floppy drive. You will
need to reboot your computer for the computer to access the program. To run the
utility, type
kp3util
at the DOS prompt.
Using the Keypad Utility
The keypad utility uses a menu bar and pull-down menu system. All menu bars are
displayed across the top of the screen. “

current menu titles are shown at the bottom of the screen (see Figure 5-1).
