Chapter 3: Getting to Know the EP10

The Keys

Psion EP10 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

[SHIFT] Key – Numeric Keyboards

The [SHIFT] key on the numeric keyboard has a dual function; when used in conjunction with the

[BLUE/FN] key, it allows you to display uppercase alpha characters and when used alone, the [SHIFT] key

provides access to Function keys [F1] to [F10].

Creating Uppercase Alpha Characters

On numeric keyboards, the alpha characters are displayed in blue print to the right on the numeric keys. To

produce an uppercase character on a numeric keyboard:

• Press the [SHIFT] key followed by the [BLUE/FN] key.

• Press the numeric key containing the alpha character you want to produce.

If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked ‘on’ essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, displaying uppercase

characters. To turn off the [CAPS] function, press the [SHIFT] key again.

Accessing Function Keys

On a numeric keyboard, the Function keys [F1] to [F10] are represented in white print to the left on numeric

keys [1] to [0]. To access a Function key:

• Press the [SHIFT] key followed by a numeric key from [1] to [0] depending on which Function key you

want to use.

The Arrow Keys

The Arrow keys are located near the top of the keyboard. The arrow keys move the cursor around the

screen – 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 [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 ([BLUE/FN] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position.

The [ALT] and [CTRL] Keys

The [ALT] and [CTRL] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent. A

key combination is required to access these keys.

• To access the [ALT] key, press [BLUE/FN] [TAB].

• To access the [CTRL] key, press [BLUE/FN] [ESC].

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 [SPACE] Key

Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, pressing the [SPACE]

key enables or disables a checkbox.

The [SCAN] Keys

The EP10 is equipped with three [SCAN] keys; two are located on the keyboard just below the display and a

third [SCAN] key is situated on the left side of the hand-held. [SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For a

unit that does not have an internal imager, these keys can be remapped to serve other functions.

3.3.4.1 The Function Keys – [F1] to [F10]

Function keys [F1] to [F10] perform special, custom-defined functions. These keys are accessed differently

depending on the type of keyboard: numeric or alpha. Function keys can be used with the Windows Embed-

ded 6.5 operating system or another application.
