Editing Definitions of Programmable Keys
The Edit Programmable Key dialog lets you modify the key code
definitions of the programmable keys on the computer’s faceplate. The
definitions are stored in the flash memory of the Keyboard Interface
Controller (KIC). Modifying the default key codes/modes is not
recommended unless required by the application software.
If you modify the default codes and your computer is replaced in the

application. Save the key code definitions to a Keypad Configuration
file (*.key) for later recall.
