The integrated scanner scans only when the Scan button is pressed (or when the
scan trigger is pressed on the optional trigger handle).
The Enter key is used to confirm a forms entry or to transmit information. How it
is used is determined by the application running on the mobile device.
The Diamond key(s) can be programmed to duplicate a single key press (as
defined by Windows CE) with the exception of the Shift, Alt and Ctrl/Ctl keys.
Refer to the Mappable Diamond Keys section for instruction.
The number keys are used to add numbers to data entry fields.
The alpha keys are used to add letters and characters to data entry fields.
The Spc key adds a space to the line of data on the display. This function is similar
to a regular keyboard's Spacebar. Note that the Spc key only stays active for one
keystroke.
Function
A Control sticky key press stays active until the Control key is
pressed again. The Control key enables the control functions of the
keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard's Control key.
Each time you need to use a Control function, you need to press the
Ctl / Ctrl key before pressing the desired key.
An Alt sticky key press stays active until the Alt key is pressed again.
The Alt key enables the alternate functions of the keypad. This
function is similar to a regular keyboard's Alt key. Each time you
need to use an alternate function, you need to press the Alt key before
pressing the desired key.
A Shift key press ends a sticky key function. The Shft key enables the
shifted functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular
keyboard's Shift key. Note that the Shift key only stays active for one
keystroke. Each time you need to use a Shifted function, you need to
press the Shft key before pressing the desired key.
When the Shft key is pressed the next key is determined by the major
key legends, i.e., the alpha keys display lower case letters – when
CAPS is On alpha characters are capitalized. For example, when
CAPS is On and the Shft key and the G key are pressed, a lower case
g is displayed.
