Touch Menus (Keyboards)
These settings allow you to setup the various keyboards that will be available to use across the
system. “Keyboard Templates” allows you to set which keyboard templates will be available
and Keyboard Layout allows you to setup the arrangement of keys on those templates.
Keyboard templates that are setup here are available throughout the store system. A store
system can contain several keyboard designs and you can set which one is used on a particular
scale using the Machine Setup menus.
