Keypad
The keypad is phosphorescent. A phosphorescent keypad does not use a keypad backlight but
glows in dim/dark areas after exposure to a light source. All keypads are installed and configured
by LXE.
The keymaps (keypress sequences) are located in “Appendix A - Key Maps.”

Use keyboard shortcuts instead of the stylus when the MX3-CE is running WinCE. Press Tab and

Scan Key Function
(MX3-CE's with Scanner endcaps only.) The Scan key activates the scanner when a scanner
endcap is installed and the Scan button is pressed. The internal scanner scans only when the
Scan button is pressed. A Scan button press has no effect on externally attached scanners.
When there is no integrated scanner endcap, the Scan keys function as Enter keys.
Enter Key Function
The Enter key is used to confirm a forms entry or to transmit information. How it is used is
determined by the application running on the computer.
2nd Key Function
The 2nd key is used to activate the 2
nd
functions of the keypad. Printed on many keys at the
upper left corner are small characters that represent the 2
nd
function of that key. Using the 2
nd
key activates the second key function. Note that the 2
nd
key only stays active for one keystroke.
Each time you need to use the 2
nd
function you must press the 2
nd
key. To cancel a 2
nd
function
before pressing another key, press the 2
nd
key again. When the 2
nd
function is active, the 2
nd
LED illuminates.
