26 Enter Data

MX3X Reference Guide E-EQ-MX3XRG-H

Enter Data

You can enter data into the mobile device through several different methods. The Scanner window

accepts barcode data entry, the RS-232 and the IR port are used to input/output data, and the

keypad and stylus provide manual entry.

Keypad Entry

The keypad is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. Almost any function that

a full sized computer keyboard can provide is duplicated on the mobile device’s keypad but it may

take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task.

Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is

printed on the key.

For example, when the 2

key is pressed, the 2

key LED illuminates. By then pressing the

desired second-function key the device will then produce the 2

character. The specific 2

character is printed above the corresponding key. The 2

key LED turns off when key sequence

finishes (unless when setting volume or contrast – the 2

key LED will flash at those times).

Please refer to “Appendix A – Key Maps” for instruction on the specific keypresses to access all

keypad functions.

Stylus Entry

The stylus performs the same function as a mouse that is used to point to and click elements on a

desktop computer. The stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single tap or double tap to

select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to activate slider

bars, etcetera. Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display.

Never use an actual pen, pencil or sharp or abrasive object to write on the touchscreen.

Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the

stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force

(touch) of 4 oz. (or greater) of pressure.

The stylus can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output device

connected to one of the serial ports.

• Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed.

• The cursor begins to flash in the field.

• The unit is ready to accept data from either the keyboard, integrated scanner or a scanner

connected to the serial port, if the scanner applet is configured correctly.

Input Panel

The Input Panel icon looks like a keyboard and is shown in the System tray. To show or hide the

input panel, tap the Input Panel icon. Use the input panel to enter information in any program.
