The alpha keys on vehicle-mount ABC keyboards are directly accessible – a key
combination is not required.
For example, to type the letter ‘a’:
• Press the <A> key.
To type the letter ‘b’:
• Press the <B> key, and so on.
Creating Uppercase Letters
To display an uppercase letter:
• Press the <SHIFT> key before typing an alpha character.
3.7.2 Accessing ABC Function Keys
Vehicle-mount terminals are available in two keyboard types – ‘F1 to F6’ and
‘F1 to ‘F10’ (see “8255 And 8260 Vehicle-Mount Terminal Keyboards” on page 47
for a brief description). Depending on which keyboard type you are using, accessing
function keys differs slightly. These differences are highlighted in this section.
Important: Make certain that the appropriate keyboard type – ‘F1 to F6’
or
‘F1 to ‘F10’ – is selected in the “Keyboard Type” parameter
(see “Keyboard Type – Vehicle-Mounts Only” on page 130).
3.7.2.1 ‘F1 To F10’ Keyboard Function Key Access
‘F1 To F10’ keyboards have a total of 30 function keys, the first ten of which are
directly accessible on the keyboard. The remaining 20 require key combinations.
Accessing Function Keys <F1> To <F10>
The first ten function keys on vehicle-mounts are directly accessible from the
keyboard. That is, they are dedicated function keys; a key combination is not
required. <F1> to <F10> are the bright yellow keys located along the upper portion
of the keyboard.
