8–6 Keypad

Operation

Publication 6182-UM001D-EN-P

Keypad Configuration Utility is required to program the function keys
for different modes and characters.

Multi-Key Lockout Mode

Multi-key lockout mode disables any subsequent key presses while an
existing function key is still depressed. When enabled and a function
key is pressed, all other key presses are ignored until the function key is
released. Likewise, if the Alt, Ctrl, or Shift keys are pressed, all function
keys are inhibited until the modifier key is released.

An abort option allows the immediate discontinuation of all key
operations if a function key is depressed and any other key is pressed
while the first key is held down. Upon abort, the first key’s "key up"
event is sent. No other key actions are recognized until all keys are
released. Use the Control Panel Keypad application to select this mode.
The factory default is unselected.

Hold-Off Mode

Hold-off mode allows the user to program a hold-off delay timer from
100 milliseconds to 5 seconds. When active, multiple key presses of the
same key are ignored for the duration of the delay timer. This mode acts
against key teasing. If a key is held down, the typematic rules still apply.
Use the Control Panel Keypad application to configure this mode. The
factory default is unselected.
