Intermec 6400 manual Numeric Keys, Alphabetic Keys, Backspace Key, Shift Keys

SECTION 1 General Information

Numeric Keys

Use the numeric keys as you would those on a calculator. Numeric values are single keystroke operations.

Alphabetic Keys

Your computer provides the full alphabet on both the 41- and 51-key keyboards. Alphabetic characters are single keystroke operations with the 51-key keyboard but are two keystrokes on a 41-key keyboard. Alphabetic characters can be entered on the 41-key keyboard by using the blue shift key.

Backspace [] Key

Use the backspace key to back the cursor up one character at a time. Holding this key down causes the cursor to con- tinuously move backwards until you stop or you run out of space to move.

Shift Keys

Your computer has three different “shift” function keys. These keys temporarily shift the function of the keyboard. Your keyboard has a green [SHFT] key, a blue key and a yellow key. The green shift key is a standard shift key. Both the blue and yellow keys work just like the shift key, and allow access to different alternate functions. Your keyboard may have up to three color-coded legends (words or charac- ters) above some of the keys. The green, blue, or yellow “shift” keys correspond to those options.
