Honeywell Virtual Keypad Creator

The default enhanced Honeywell virtual keyboard is fully customizable using the Honeywell Virtual
Keypad Creator software available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com. The user-friendly utility
allows you to personalize multiple keyboard features including key position, size, quantity, color, and the
keyboard skin. In addition, you can make language changes, create alternate or function keys for special
character sets, and add application launch keys to streamline common business tasks.
There are two software components required for customizing the enhanced Honeywell Virtual keyboard.
• The first is the Honeywell Virtual Keypad Creator, which resides on your PC and is used to design,
save, and download custom keyboard layouts to your Dolphin terminal.
• The second is the enhanced Honeywell virtual keyboard file HoneywellVK.xml, which is located in the
\mnt\SDcard\HoneywellVK folder on your Dolphin terminal. This keyboard file is what displays on
the terminal screen when the enhanced Honeywell virtual keyboard is selected as the default virtual
keyboard; see Language & input
