2. HOT KEY PROGRAMMING
The POSIFLEX programmable keyboard KB3100 series supports
the “hot key programming” method which is most useful in instant
modification of a few keys in a preprogrammed keyboard without
entering the more sophisticated programming utility. Of course, the user
may also use this feature to program through out all 112 keys by 5 pages
(LP and L1 to L4) at will. The whole process of “Hot key programming”
contains 4 steps for each key to be programmed and is illustrated as
following:
a. Preparation
Please refer to Fig. 5 -1, a standard PC or PS-2 keyboard must be
connected to the KB3100 series 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
answer back codes of the position control key is not covered by the “hot
key programming” feature.
b. Enter “hot key program m ing” mode
To enter the “hot key programming” mode, the user must input the

key” is defined as pressing and holding the left “Alt” key while pressing
the “PRT SC” (“Print Screen”) key on the PC or PS-2 keyboard. And by
