IV. APPLICATION
A. KEYBOARD CONSTRUCTION
On top of the keyboard surface is the push key switch area
constructed in a 17 x 6 matrix providing a possibility of maximum 102
key positions available. However, the lower 5 rows in KB6200xx models
are organized in “QWERTY” format that is country dependent and
possesses about 60 more alphanumerical keys as the layout dictates, 12
keys of numerical keypad and 2 programmable keys. So there will never
be a total number of the maximum possible 102 keys for any country
throughout the KB6200xx models. In model KB6000, there are 12 keys
preprogrammed to form a numerical key pad. The marking on the
“QWERTY” keys and the numerical keys is non-erasable. Beneath the
key pad, a double key is provided in horizontal orientation. Therefore
making total key count in KB6000 one less from 102.
The structure of KB6000 series allows free replacement of the key
tops. The user may purchase single keys, double keys and blank keys in
number required to arrange as wish the appearance of the progammable
key area. The technique to replace key tops is explained later.
B. KEY TOP LABELING
For identification of the keys with programmed contents, please
print appropriate information on the legend sheet of appropriate color
from the accessary and place it in between the transparent key cap and
the key top. In this way the marking on the programmable key is well
protected from wear. To remove a transparent key cap, please find at the
bottom of the programmable keyboard an adjustable key clip. The two
“feet” of the key clip should be pulled wide for use with double key.
