Key Descriptions
This section includes a description of how the shift keys
work and the differences between a 41-key and 51-key key-
board. Your particular keyboard may have an overlay that
has additional keys other than those described in this sec-
tion. Refer to your application operation manual for descrip-
tions of those keys. The following descriptions cover both
the 41-key and 51-key computers using a DOS/PC overlay.
ENT (Enter) Key
Two Enter keys are provided for the convenience of both left
and right handed users. These keys are the same as an €
(Enter) key on a PC. You use them to enter data, or as a
“Yes” response to display prompts.
SCAN Key
This key is used with an integrated scanner to read bar
code labels. If your application does not use a scanner or if
you are using an optional tethered scanner, you probably
will not use this key. Pressing this key also resumes opera-
tion (awaken your computer) if it is in the suspend mode.
Period [.] Key
Use the period [.] key as a period or a decimal point.
Minus [- ] Key
Use the minus [--] key to enter negative values or dashes in
character fields. The minus key is also used for “No” re-
sponses to display prompts.
