Note
• In weigh mode, with no prompt open, enter a numeric value and press Tare on the 880 to perform a keyed tare. On a
keyboard press F8 or Alt + t.
• When editing a string, a keyboard can be used to directly edit the string while at the top level. Pressing any alphanumeric
key will insert the appropriate character in the current position. If the down arrow key is pressed (either on the 880 or the
keyboard) then the left/right arrow keys will be used to select the current character.
• In weigh mode, the keyboard enter key and arrow keys do not perform like the Tare/Enter key or the arrows 880 keypad.
• Except for the Alt+ key combinations listed in the Key Functions table and support for Shift+ key, no other key
combinations are supported - some common Windows key combinations as examples: Ctrl+C does not perform a copy,
Ctrl+V does not perform a paste, etc.
