Text Data Entry
When performing data entry into text-only fields, the terminal keypad
defaults to all alpha characters.
Alphanumeric Data Entry
NOTE:
When performing data entry on the screens that
accept both alpha and numeric characters, use a
shift key
[F]
to access the alpha and special
characters throughout. By pressing the numeric
key first and then pressing the
[F]
key, you can
scroll through all characters programmed on that
key.
The admin key is also designated for other special characters and is
marked with a period (.), comma (,), pound sign (#) and asterisk (*):
[.,#*]
. To select one of these special characters, press that key and
then press the
[F]
key until the desired character appears.
