PST-7000 series user’s manual – INSTALLATION GUIDES
PROGRAMMABLE KEYBOARD
The PST terminal is equipped with an extremely versatile programmable
keyboard. In which up to 255 characters as well as diverse control functions may be
assigned to each key (subject to the 8KB maximum total storage limit). This feature
allows the programmer complete freedom in mapping the keyboard layout without
having to introduce software TSRs or .dlls into the PC host for application. (The
complete programming primer for the keyboard is in the technical manual). This
keyboard comes in 2 different layouts : KB112 for PST7000/PST7050 and KB136 for
PST7300/PST7350. The key tops of the 2 layout have different sizes for a single key,
so all the accessories for the 2 layout can not be mutually exchanged. However, they
are common in structure.
The keyboard is shipped from the factory with the key tops fitted, but without
the transparent key caps (these are in the accessories box). Also supplied with the
keyboard are 4 die cut self adhesive A4 label sheets that may be printed by most
conventional means with whatever legends are required by the application.
Because of the programmable nature of the keyboard the key layout may be
different from that envisioned by the application and therefore, may be arranged to
suit the convenience of the operator.
There are a number of types of key available:
• Single key with transparent key cap
• Vertical double key with transparent key cap (for KB112 only)
• Horizontal double key with transparent key cap (option for KB112 only)
• Quad key with transparent key cap (for KB112 only)
• Numeric keys with fixed legends (for KB112 only)
• Double key with transparent key cap (for KB136 only)
• Blank key for cluster separation
The user may use the key clip (to be found in the accessory box) to pull off the
key caps and apply the printed legend label on the key top then recap the transparent
key cap for identification (ref. Fig. 3-6).
