Your pen scanner is equipped with two buttons. The simple and
double of each pen button can be programmed so as to execute an
operation in the target application
. By simply pressing the pen
buttons, you will thus be able to execute keyboard commands, add
characters, switch from a scan type to another, etc. without having
to touch your keyboard.

Tip:
The buttons' programming is particularly useful, for example, when entering
data into a database: you can program the <Tab> command to get to the next
field and program the <Home><Cursor Down> to move the cursor to the
next row. When entering amounts in a spreadsheet, you can program the
keying of the currency ("$", etc.). In your word processor, you will program
the <Enter> key to make a carriage return and start a new paragraph, etc.
These are only a few examples...

To program the pen buttons:

• In the Application window, click Pen Buttons

on the toolbar

or select the command Pen Buttons from the Settings menu.
The Pen Buttons window opens with a default programming.
