Note: This menu uses string entry fields. For detailed information about com-
pleting this type of field, refer to “String Entry Parameters” on page 115.
Important: The sample menu above reflects the 7035 hand-held softkey
options. The Softkey menu for 8255 and 8260 vehicle-mount
terminals equipped with 10 function key keyboards provide
10 softkey labels – F1 to F10. Vehicle-mounts with 6
function key
k
eyboards list 6 softkey labels in this menu.
Softkeys are function keys that have been programmed to perform specific actions
in your application. These keys are identified through softkey labels – reverse video
labels that are displayed at the bottom of the terminal screen. These softkey labels
can be reconfigured using the menu attached to this parameter.
To edit a label:
• Position the cursor in the appropriate function key field within the
Softkey menu, and type a new name – preferably one that describes
the corresponding key’s function.
Note: Although you can enter up to 8 characters for each softkey label, the text
will be shortened to better fit in the available space on your display.
