Special Functions Key
13.1. Introduction
The K376 firmware allows for the <FUNCTION> key to be configured to a range of
special functions. As the K376 firmware allows for check weighing, there is an
additional special function available where the key can be used to gain access to the
check weighing threshold values.
Refer to KEY.FN
page 33 to configure the function key.
When leaving the factory, the <FUNCTION> key is blank and has no function pre-
programmed. Each function has an associated overlay sticker supplied that should
be applied to the function key to label the function. Ensure the keypad is clean and
dry before affixing the sticker. Refer to Cleaning page 7 for more information.
