The Scan key activates the scanner when a scanner endcap is installed and either of
the two Scan buttons are pressed. This feature accommodates both left and right
handed users comfortably.

The Enter key is used to confirm a forms entry or to transmit information. How it is
used is determined by the application running on the computer. There are two Enter
keys on all keypads except for the IBM 5250 Full
Alpha-Numeric keypad which has
one Enter key.

The Field Exit key is used to exit an input field. If the field is an Auto Enter field, the
auto transmit function is activated. This key is present on the IBM 5250 specific

The arrow keys (also called the cursor movement keys) are used to scroll through the
active display or to move the cursor around the screen.
