The Keys tab sets up what happens when one of the Scan keys are pressed. Note that both keys
can do the same or different functions.
Adjust the settings and tap the OK box to save the changes. The changes take effect immediately.
Assigned Function
Disabled
When either scan key is set to Disabled, the mobile device does nothing when
pressed.
Scan
When set to “Scan” the integrated scanner is activated. If no integrated scanner
is present, the Scan selection is greyed out. When using the RFID module, the
Scan key defaults to the Left Scan button.
Enter
When set to “Enter”, both the Enter key and the (Scan button) / Enter key
perform the same function.
Tab
When set to “Tab”, both the Tab key and the (Scan button) / Tab key perform
the same function.
Field Exit
5250 devices only. When a Scan key is set to “Field Exit”, the key press
causes the cursor to exit an input field. A field exit key press functions as a
Pause key press on non-5250 devices.
Virtual
When set to “Virtual”, the Virtual Left scan key produces an F20 and the
Virtual Right scan key produces an F21.
RFID
When enabled, the Right Scan / Left Scan key functions as the RFID tag reader
trigger.
Change a Virtual Key (F20 or F21) Value
Modify the Registry using the Registry Editor (see section titled “Utilities”). LXE recommends
caution when editing the Registry and also recommends making a backup copy of the registry
before changes are made.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ LXE \ Scanner.
Set either the ScanCodeLeft or ScanCodeRight to be the scan code of the key to be used as the
virtual key when the Virtual Left key (Left Scan key) or Virtual Right key (Right Scan key) is
pressed. The registry requires a decimal value.
