Numeric Keyboards — Accessing Alpha Keys
On the Numeric Omnii keyboards, all alphabetic characters are printed on the unit plastic in blue typeface
above the keys. Alpha characters are accessed by pressing the [FN] modifier key, then pressing another key
on the keyboard.
The Alpha Modified Numeric 789 keyboard has each blue alphabetic character assigned as a single
[FN]-shifted character on individual keys. An indicator in the left corner of the taskbar displays the currently
selected character.
The Numeric 123 keyboards have telephone-style alphabetic keys, with the blue alphabetic characters located
in groups of 3 or 4 above each of the numeric keys. To access characters on these keyboards, a few extra
steps are needed, as described below.
Choosing a Single Alpha Character
NOTE
The following examples assume that the [FN] key is enabled as Lock mode in
the One Shot screen (accessible through the Control Panel Keyboard icon). In
Lock mode, pressing the [FN] key once locks it on. Refer to
Shot Modes" on page 3-34
The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in blue characters above the
numeric key [2]. The letters you choose appear in the softkey bar as you press the numeric key, providing a
visual indicator of which letter will be displayed on the screen.
To choose the letter a:
• Press the [FN] key, and press the numeric key [2].
• Press the [FN] key again to unlock or turn it off.
To choose the letter b:
• Press the [FN] key, and press [2] twice.
• Press the [FN] key again to unlock or turn it off.
To choose the letter c:
• Press the [FN] key, and press [2] three times.
• Press the [FN] key again to unlock or turn it off.
NOTE
Keep in mind that there is a timeout of one second between key presses when
sequencing through the alphabetic characters on a key. If you pause longer
than one second between key presses, the alphabetic character that is dis-
played at that time will be entered.
Selecting Uppercase Letters
To display a single capital letter, press the [SHIFT] key first, then the letter you want.
