2-1-3. Function keys The keys on the keyboard can be assigned various functions that are used for registration as required for the terminal. For convenience sake, these functions are called by function keys. There are two types of function keys: 1) System keys Numeric keys, clear key, home position key, end key, left / right / up / down arrow keys, yes key, no key, mode selection keys, ESC/SKIP key, page up / down key are system keys. 2) Function keys These function keys are used for finalize a transaction, to specify the functions for a registration or to specify the meaning of a entry. These function keys have programmable functions, which are set to the transaction key / department / subdepartment / PLU file. Function keys include finalize key, transaction key, department key, subdepartment key and flat PLU key. The list of all function keys is shown in the Program 4 chapter of the programming manual. General descriptions of individual function keys are found in the chapter 2-2. 2-1-4. Keyboard layout Normally, the keyboard is assigned functions which are required for registration of transactions. The keyboard is also used for character input when entering descriptors or names during programming. The QT-6600 automatically switches the keyboard to its character input function when it determines that character input is required for the operation sequence you are performing. This means that you can input characters without having to worry about manually changing the keyboard input mode. The function key (except system keys) allocation is fully programmable to meet the specific needs of each terminal. The actual programming of key layouts can be performed in the PGM4 mode, and programmed data is written onto the key table (file 074/174). The allocation can also be programmed when programming each function file for programming function keys such as finalize keys, transaction keys, department keys, subdepartment keys, and flat PLU keys. Standard function key layout Refer to the page 16 of the user's manual. Character key layout Refer to the page 126, 127 of the programming manual. QT-6600 Reference Manual R-25
