Falcon 33x/34x 38-Key Keypad
User’s Guide
37
Double Action Key Mode
There are two additional modes of operation, which affect how alpha keys
and the punctuation characters above the alpha keys are accessed in Falcon
models
33X and 34X with 38-key keypads.
Thirteen of these key are used for alpha keys (the letters
A-Z).
Each key has two letters on the key itself, and two punctuation char-
acters above the key.
Accessing the alpha character printed on the left side of the key (the
first” letter) is done as normal.
Accessing the alpha character printed on the right side of the key
(the “second” letter) depends upon the double action key (double
press or press and wait).
The function key
<Fn> is used to enter alpha mode. In this mode
double action typing can then be used to get the symbols above the
keys.
Double Strike Mode
Left character:
Press the <Alpha> key once and release. After a prede-
termined time-out (default = 330 ms), the character will be displayed.
Right character:
Quickly press the <Alpha> key twice. The second key
press must occur before the predetermined time-out (default = 330ms).
This mode is called the
double strike mode, because it requires two rapid
presses on a key to access the second (the right-most) character.
Press and Wait Mode
Left character:
Press an <Alpha> key once and release
Right character:
Press the <Alpha> key and hold for a predetermined
time-out (default = 330ms).
This mode is called
press and wait mode, because it requires pressing the
key and holding it down for a certain amount of time to access the second
(right-most) character.
The mode and time-out (for either mode) can be changed via the Falcon
configuration driver, the Run-Time Library or by bar code scanning.
