Descriptions
The following are the command keys of the terminal’s keypad.
Cancel Key
Pressing the Cancel key in normal mode — when the terminal’s application is
loaded and running. It terminates the current function or operation.
In Verix Terminal Manager, use Cancel to perform a variety of functions. The
most common use of Cancel in Verix Terminal Manager is to exit a Verix Terminal
Manager submenu and return to the main Verix Terminal Manager menu. The
specific effect of pressing the Cancel key depends on the currently active Verix
Terminal Manager menu.
On VX 675 ECR units, the red key may display a string of letters.
Clear Key
In normal mode, the Clear key is commonly used to delete a number, letter, or
symbol on the terminal’s display screen. Press Clear one time to delete the last
character typed on a line. To delete additional characters, moving from right-to-
left, press Clear once for each character or hold down Clear to delete all
characters in a line.
In Verix Terminal Manager, the specific effect of pressing the Clear key depends
on the currently active Verix Terminal Manager menu.
Enter Key
In normal mode, the Enter key is generally used in the same way as the enter
key on a PC, that is, to end a procedure, confirm a value or entry, answer “Yes” to
a query, or select a displayed option.
In Verix Terminal Manager, press the Enter key to begin a selected procedure,
step forward or backward in a procedure, and confirm data entries. The specific
effect of the Enter key depends on the currently active Verix Terminal Manager
menu.
On VX 675 ECR units, the green key may display a new currency symbol.
NOTE
The terminal’s operating mode and context determine the specific action
performed when you press one of the function keys. The following descriptions
are provided solely to acquaint you with some general characteristics of these
function keys before presenting more detailed Verix Terminal Manager
procedure descriptions.
