Scan Buttons
Figure 23 Programmable Buttons
There are two buttons, one on each side of the display. The buttons can be programmed to perform
specific functions. The programmable keys have no effect on barcode scanners tethered to the
device. When there is no integrated scanner installed, both buttons default to Enter buttons (with
the exception of IBM 5250 terminal emulation devices – in this case, the left button is labelled and
functions as Field Exit).
Note: The programmable Scan key is the Field Exit key when the MX3X is an IBM 5250 /
TN5250 compatible device.
To edit the button parameters, select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Scanner. Change the
parameter values and tap OK to save the changes.
The default setting for the right button on an MX3X is Enter. The default setting for the left button
is Scan. When the device does not have an integrated scanner, both buttons default to Enter keys
and the Scan selection is greyed out.
Each button can be setup as:
• Disabled – no response when pressed
• Scan – initiate a barcode scan sequence (integrated scanner only)
• Enter Key
• Tab Key
• Field Exit (IBM 5250 / TN5250 devices only)
• Virtual Key (default values F20 and F21)
• RFID Read
