Configure a SHIFT Function Key

This step walks you through the configuration of Function Key 4 as a SHIFT function

key. The function key can then be used with shifted function keys to send the alternate or

“shifted” ASCII string to the host. When the SHIFT function key is not pressed, any

shifted function key will send its normal or “unshifted” ASCII string to the host. If the

SHIFT key is held down, the shifted function key will send the “shifted” ASCII string.
