Using Local Applications

Entering Characters

You can enter text, digits and symbols in local applications in any of the following ways:

via the keypad on the display - a keypad appears on the display (see below),

by repeatedly pressing keys on the keypad

by using an external USB keyboard - connected via the USB interface

Touchscreen Keypad

Step by Step

Show the touchscreen keypad.


	The positioning of the alphanumeric keys depends on the local language settings for the optiPoint 600 office .

e.g.

Enter alphanumeric characters and symbols.

Switch to diacritical marks.
The option for entering characters, such as " è ", is active when the relevant softkeys appear on the touchscreen (e.g. " e " is displayed as " è ") and by the inversion of the switching softkey (softkey is black).

In addition to the alphabetical softkeys, the following softkeys are available:

Shift to upper case.

Shift to lower case.

Shift to the first alternative key assignment
(e.g. numeric characters, punctuation marks, brackets).

Shift to the second alternative key assignment
(e.g. currency symbols).

Place the cursor at the beginning of the line.

Delete characters to the left of the cursor one by one.

Delete characters to the right of the cursor one by one.

Move the cursor to the end of the line.

Move the cursor to the left/right.

Hide the touchscreen keypad and accept the new or modified text in the input field.
