Using The Modifier Keys; Other Special Keys - Dolphin 7400 User Manual

Using the Modifier Keys

All three versions of the Dolphin 7400's keyboard feature the standard Windows
modifier keys, , and
Alt Ctl
modifies the next key pressed; it must be pressed and released before each key
you wish to make
lower
key down with one hand while typing with the other. Functions of the Alt and Ctl
keys are dependent on the software application in use.
There are two additional modifier keys located on the bottom row of the keyboard.
Use these keys in combination with other keys to type the corresponding color-
coded characters and functions. The Red and Blue keys only modify the next key
pressed; these keys must be pressed and released before each key you wish to
modify to the Blue or Red case. See the chart in
for keyboard functions and special characters that use these keys.

Other Special Keys

ON/SCAN Key
The ON/SCAN key "wakes" the terminal from sleep mode. Its position also allows
convenient one-handed image-taking and/or bar code scanning. On the 7450
terminal, the ON/SCAN key operates as an On or system wakeup control --
scanning is activated with the handle trigger.
Shift (SFT)
The Shift key toggles the keyboard from upper case alphabet mode to lower case
alphabet mode and back. Caps Lock may also be toggled by pressing the red
modifier key followed by the Shift key or by double-tapping the Shift key. When
Caps Lock is toggled on, the Shift key makes characters upper case; when it is
toggled off, the Shift key makes keys lower case.
Enter (ENT)
The Enter key confirms data entry.
Escape (ESC)
The Escape key performs a cancel action.
Tab
The Tab key moves the cursor to the next tab stop or the next control on a form.
