Keyboard Settings
The majority of Luminex users successfully adjust their keyboard accuracy using the depth of stroke and
the tension control adjustment wheels.
Keyboard Depth and Tension Controls
on page 22. Occasionally,
when a very short depth of stroke is used or after adjusting the tension control and depth of stroke, you
may continue to experience stacking or splitting. The Keyboard Settings allow you to further customize
the keystroke interaction to your writing style.
You can save changed Keyboard Settings to a keyboard profile. You can load the saved profile at
another time to quickly apply the settings. You may want to create different profiles for situations when
your writing varies. For example, you are in a situation where several people are using the Luminex or
you write differently first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon. You make adjustments to the
Keyboard Settings and save them to a profile. The next time you write, you load the desired profile to
have the Luminex automatically apply the saved Keyboard Settings with your personalized adjustments.
Keyboard Adjustments
1. Make adjustments to the keyboard depth of stroke and tension control settings.

becoming one, adjust the

setting. It is strongly recommended that you
select the first available setting and assess the change. Turn on CNN or the equivalent and write
against the broadcast for 20 - 30 minutes.
