General Information SECTION 1

Key Descriptions

This section includes a description of how the shift keys work and the differences between a 41-key and 51-key key- board. Your particular keyboard may have an overlay that has additional keys other than those described in this sec- tion. Refer to your application operation manual for descrip- tions of those keys. The following descriptions cover both the 41-key and 51-key computers using a DOS/PC overlay.

ENT (Enter) Key

Two Enter keys are provided for the convenience of both left and right handed users. These keys are the same as an € (Enter) key on a PC. You use them to enter data, or as a “Yes” response to display prompts.

SCAN Key

This key is used with an integrated scanner to read bar code labels. If your application does not use a scanner or if you are using an optional tethered scanner, you probably will not use this key. Pressing this key also resumes opera- tion (awaken your computer) if it is in the suspend mode.

Period [.] Key

Use the period [.] key as a period or a decimal point.

Minus [- ] Key

Use the minus [--] key to enter negative values or dashes in character fields. The minus key is also used for “No” re- sponses to display prompts.
