E-EQ-MX3CEOGWW-A-ARC MX3-CE Installation and Operator’s Guide
The Keypad
The QWERTY keypad is phosphorescent. A phosphorescent keypad does not use a keypad
backlight but glows in dim/dark areas after exposure to a light source.
The keypad is installed and configured by LXE.

The keymaps (keypress sequences) are located in “Appendix A - Key Maps.”
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.
Ctrl Key Function
The Ctrl key enables the control functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular
keyboard’s Control key. Note that the Ctrl key only stays active for one keystroke. Each time
you need to use a Ctrl function, you need to press the Ctrl key before pressing the desired key.
When the Ctrl function is active, the Ctrl LED illuminates.
