Your pen scanner is equipped with two buttons. The simple and
double click of each pen button can be programmed so as to
execute an operation in the target application
. By simply
pressing the pen buttons, you will thus be able to execute keyboard
commands, add characters, switch from a scan type to another, etc.
without having to touch your keyboard.
Tip
:
The buttons' programming is particularly useful, for example, when entering
data into a database: you can program the <Tab> command to get to the next
field and program the <Home><Cursor Down> to move the cursor to the
next row. When entering amounts in a spreadsheet, you can program the
keying of the currency ("$", etc.). In your word processor, you will program
the <Enter> key to make a carriage return and start a new paragraph, etc.
These are only a few examples...
To program the pen buttons:
•
In the
Application
window, click
Pen Buttons
on the toolbar
or select the command
Pen Buttons
from the
Settings
menu.
The
Pen Buttons
window opens with a default programming.
