Standard Keys
Scan
The integrated scanner scans only when the Scan button is pressed (or when the
scan trigger is pressed on the optional trigger handle).
Enter
The Enter key is used to confirm a forms entry or to transmit information. How it
is used is determined by the application running on the mobile device.
Diamond
The Diamond key(s) can be programmed to duplicate a single keypress (as defined
by Windows CE) with the exception of the Shift, Alt and Ctrl/Ctl key.
Numeric The number keys are used to add numbers to data entry fields.
Alpha The alpha keys are used to add letters and characters to data entry fields.
Space
The Spc key adds a space to the line of data on the display. This function is similar
to a regular keyboard’s Spacebar. Note that the Spc key only stays active for one
keystroke.
Function Keys
Sticky Keys
The Sticky Key feature allows the user to activate multi-keypress combinations with one finger. A
sticky key function is similar to the Caps Lock key function on a desktop computer keyboard.
Ctl / Ctrl (Control key)
/ A Control sticky keypress stays active until the Control key is pressed again.
The Control key enables the control functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular
keyboard’s Control key. Each time you need to use a Control function, you need to press the Ctl /
Ctrl key before pressing the desired key.
Alt (Alternate key)
An Alt sticky keypress stays active until the Alt key is pressed again. The Alt key enables
the alternate functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Alt key. Each
time you need to use an alternate function, you need to press the Alt key before pressing the
desired key.
Shft (Shift key)
A Shift keypress ends a sticky key function. The Shft key enables the shifted functions of
the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Shift key. Note that the Shift key only
stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use a Shifted function, you need to press the
Shft key before pressing the desired key.
When the Shft key is pressed the next key is determined by the major key legends, i.e., the alpha
keys display lower case letters -- when CAPS is On alpha characters are capitalized. For example,
when CAPS is On and the Shft key and the G key are pressed, a lower case g is displayed.
