1. PREPARATION

To enable “hot key programming” feature of the programmable keyboard, a standard PC or PS/2 keyboard must be connected to the external KB connector of the programmable keyboard before entering “hot key programming” mode. The user shall then decide which key of which page is to be programmed and turn the 6 position control key to the proper position before entering the “hot key programming” mode. Please note that the 2 programmable keys in the numerical keypad in KB3200 series and the answer back codes of the position control key in both series are not covered by the “hot key programming” feature.
