LK1600 User Manual Rev. 1

• For special function keys, use <ESC> and <Function Key> to enter their

scan code in this mode. For example, to program <F9> into the key

position, hit <ESC> first, followed by <F9>. To program <ESC>, hit

<ESC> twice.

• Since the following 4 keys are used by Windows, we cannot use <ESC> +

<Function Key> to program these keys: <F6>, <F10>, <Alt>,

<PrintScreen>. These keys have to be programmed in ASCII mode by

entering the key token names.

• The scan codes for multiple keys entered into one key will act as if all the

keys were pressed consecutively without releasing the previous one. At

the same time these keys will be released when the key at the

programmable keyboard is released. Thus, to program <Shift-F2>, just

enter <ESC>, <Shift>, <ESC> <F2>. To program <Ctrl-A>, just enter

<ESC>, <Ctrl>, <a>.

• If a certain key has to act as if it is released within the programming string

before the actual key is released, “release codes” have to be inserted

manually:

o For regular keys (including Shift, RightShift, and Ctrl), insert <ESC> &

<f> followed by the key to be “released”. For example, to simulate

press and release of the <b> key, enter <b>, <ESC>, <f>, <b>.

When <ESC> & <f> is entered, the display will show [0F0]. To release

<Ctrl> key, enter <ESC>, <f>, <ESC>, <Ctrl>.

o There are some keys that need special code combinations. For

example, to release the <RightCtrl> key,use

<ESC>,<e>,<ESC>,<f>,<ESC>,<Ctrl>. It will be shown as

“[0E0][0F0][Ctrl]”.

o For releasing <Alt> and <RightAlt>, type in [0F0][Alt] or

[0E0][0F0][RightAlt] directly in ASCII mode.

ASCII Code Mode

• In ASCII mode, pressing a regular key will enter that key in the definition

and be shown as a string of characters. Special function keys will be

ignored or used to control entry of data (e.g. Backspace will erase

previous character).

• There are some special codes used in ASCII code mode:

o [Caps] Emulates function of CapsLock key. Used in RS232 mode to

emulate Caps Lock function for QWERTY keyboards. To insert [Caps]

function, click on the icon on the toolbar.

o [CR] Carriage Return code. Used in RS232 mode to emulate <Enter>

function.

o [[ Enters the character ‘[‘ character.

o ]] Enters the character ‘]’ character.

o [Separator] Separator Code used in Multi-level definition. Used to

separate several definitions codes that work in combination with Multi-

shift-level function key. Click on icon to insert a Level Separator

Code.
