Calculator Style NumberingBoth 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)
