PROGRAMMING THE PEN BUTTONS (SINGLE AND DOUBLE CLICK) Your pen scanner is equipped with two buttons. The simple and double click of each pen button can be programmed so as to execute an operation in the target application. By simply pressing the pen buttons, you will thus be able to execute key sequences, add characters, switch from one reading mode to another, etc. without having to touch your keyboard. The buttons programming is particularly useful, for example, when entering data into a database: you can program the <Tab> command to get to the next field and program the <Home><Cursor Down> to move the cursor to the next row. When entering amounts in a spreadsheet, you can program the keying of the currency ("$", etc. ). In your word processor, you will program the <Enter> key to make a carriage return and start a new paragraph, etc. You can program the single and double clicks of each button, four operations can be programmed in total. To program the pen buttons: Program the pen buttons in the IRISPen Palette · Click on or select Pen buttons from the Settings menu. By default, the buttons are programmed as follows: Left button: 26 CHAPTER 4 - BASIC PARAMETERS - single click: <Return> - double click: <Tab> Right button: - single click: <Return> - double click: <Tab> · Select the button to be programmed (left or right), then select the operation to be executed with a single click and/or double click (use the arrows on the right). The User String option can be used to program custom operations. None This corresponds to a "null" operation. Key sequence This allows you to program your own key sequences, i. e. : any other keyboard command, the addition of characters, or any combination of all. To enter your key sequence, tick Key Sequence, click on Set, then introduce the commands and/or characters in the proposed field and click OK to confirm. 27 IRISPen Executive 6 - User's guide Switch reading mode This allows you to program the switch to the next reading mode in the list of reading modes available. If the current reading mode is Text, this will make you switch to the Bar Codes reading mode. If the current reading mode is Bar Codes, this will make you switch to the Image reading mode. Remember that the reading mode is always specified in the Status window. User String This allows you to program the addition of a character string. To enter your key sequence, tick User String, then introduce the character string in the proposed field and click OK to confirm. SETTING THE TEXT ALIGNMENT With the Text Alignment feature, you can indicate how the scanned lines must be delimited. Where should the reading actually start if a word has been cropped during scanning?How should hyphens be interpreted when occurring at the end of a line? [. . . ] If your target application is a spreadsheet, the <Tab> moves your cursor to the next cell and the various bits of data are inserted in separate cells. Various keyboard commands are proposed for the conversion, but you will also be able to replace vertical lines by characters or any combination of characters and commands. Tip: How to recompose a whole table?If on top of the default <Tab> command, you add the line suffix <Home & Down Arrow> (see: Basic parameters, Setting the text alignment), your cursor will be relocated on the next row after each scanned line. By doing so, you will be able to recompose a whole table. 47 IRISPen Executive 6 - User's guide To define the table frame conversion: · Select Table Frame Conversion from the Settings menu, then select the required keyboard command.
