The Beijer Electronics QTERM® is a data-entry terminal for industrial applications. There are two distinct QTERM models
covered in this manual; the QTERM-IV and the QTERM-P40. When the term QTERM is used in this manual, it refers to any
one of these models. When the manual is referring to one of these specific models, then it will be indicated. The QTERM is
available in many different configurations; this manual discusses all versions and their operation.
