Using the Keyboards
Overview
The keyboard buttons are recessed under the overlay for maximum durability. The keyboard panel is
backlit for maximum viewability in various lighting conditions. There are two keyboard options:
Calculator Style Numbering
Both keyboards default to numeric mode and feature calculator-style numbering.
LEDs
The LEDs in the center of the keyboard work with the on-board imager scanner engine. Both LEDs are
user-programmable. Their default behavior is as follows:
Scan LED The LED on the right lights red when you press the Scan trigger in scanning applications.
Decode LED The LED on the left lights green when a scanned bar code is successfully decoded.
For more information, see Using the Imager Scanner Engine on page 5-1.
Color-Coding
Keyboard overlays are color-coded to indicate the functions performed or characters typed when the
color-coded key is pressed with the red or blue modifier key.
Key Types
In addition to the standard number and letter keys, both keyboards contain three types of keys:
1. Function Keys: Using the Function Keys (see page 4-2)
2. Navigation Keys: Using the Navigation Keys (see page 4-3)
3. Modifier Keys: Using the Modifier Keys (see page 4-3)
24-Key Keyboard (see page 4-4) 38-Key Keyboard (see page 4-7)
