The Arrow Keys
The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down,
left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the
next character you type will appear.
The [SPACE] Key
Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, press-
ing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.
The [BKSP/DEL] Key
The [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one
character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.
The [DEL] key ([FN/BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position.
The [CTRL] And [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are applica-
tion-dependent.
The [TAB] Key
Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.
The [ESC] Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box or
activity and return to the previous one.
The [SCAN] Key
All units are equipped with a yellow [SCAN] key. For units that do not have internal scan-
ners, this key can be re-mapped to another function.
