ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
The LK7000 POS keyboard can be programmed with all special control
and function keys such as the Shift, Ctrl, Alt, F1 through F12, and the up/
down/left/right arrow keys. The procedure to program these special keys is
shown below:
1. Start the LK7000 utility program.
2. Select the cell to be programmed. Press F8 to enter the scan-
code mode. The “code type” information changes from ASCII to
SCAN.
NOTE: The scan-code mode will only be active for this cell. You must
select F8 for each cell you want to program with scan-code
information.
3. Under the scan-code mode, each alphanumeric character is
enclosed in parenthesis. For special function or control keys, press
ESC (three vertical bars will be present) followed by the special
function or control key you want to program.
For example, to program the INS (insert) key, press ESC and
then the INS key on the 101 keyboard. To program the ESC key,
simply press the ESC key twice. Special function and control
keys will not appear inside parenthesis. The three vertical bars
will disappear once the special function key is depressed.
4. You may return to the start-up graphic screen (short menu) by
pressing Ctrl-Alt-F4 again.
NOTES:
1) Special function keys require ESC as the leading code. In the scan-code mode, you
can view the symbol of the special key or the hex code equivalent of the special key. To
view, simply press F7 to toggle between symbol and hex modes.
2) Once a special function key (shift, ctrl, alt, etc.) is programmed it may be necessary to
un-select the function. To do so, press in sequence ESC, f (lower case F), 0 (zero),
ESC, followed by the special function key (shift, ctrl alt, etc.)
3) Any given programmable location may be toggled between scan-code mode and ASCII-
code mode. Pressing the F8 key on the keyboard will change the cell’s programming
mode to scan-code mode. Pressing F9 on the keyboard will change the cell’s
programming mode to ASCII-code mode. Changing modes in a cell that has been
previously programmed will erase all the information in that cell.
4) To enter hex scan-codes directly, press ESC followed by the 2-digit hex number. For
example, to program the CTRL key press ESC followed by 1D. The LK7000
program will add the leading zero

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE LK7000
Besides being able to program all the keys of an IBM101 keyboard, the
LK7000 has also incorporated three state-of-the-art features which will
add flexibility and functionality to the keyboard.
INTER-STRING DELAY
This feature allows for a time delay(s) to be installed after a character(s)
has been inserted into a cell. To use this feature follow the steps below:
1. Enter the character(s) which will precede the delay. For
example, ABC.
2. Depress and hold the ALT key while pressing the letter D. A time
delay screen will open asking for the amount of delay you require
(up to 240 seconds). Select the appropriate delay and press
ENTER. A square pixel will appear on the programming line
immediately following the last character typed.
3. Type the next character(s), DEF. You can use more than one
delay per cell and each delay time can be different.
4. Save the template and then write the template to the keyboard.
5. Exit the LK7000 program by pressing F10 followed
by the letter Y.
6. Press the location key where the time delay character has been
stored. The monitor will display ABC immediately. After the delay
time you entered for this key has expired, DEF will be displayed on
the monitor and the cursor will be present at the prompt.

MULTI-LEVEL DEFINITION
This feature can increase the apparent number of programmable
keys by allowing you to program different levels into any cell. For every
different level you program you must select another key to be a “SHIFT
LEVEL” key. Programming is accomplished in the normal manner. After
programming the base level a separator bar must be entered to separate
the base level from the second level. You can program more than
two levels per cell. For example, if you needed to program small coffee,
medium coffee, and large coffee into one cell follow the procedure
outlined below:
1. Select a blank cell and enter the most common coffee first
(medium coffee). Mark the legend sheet for this cell COFFEE.
2. Enter the separator bar by depressing and holding the ALT key
and pressing the letter S. A solid line will appear on the
programming line immediately following the last character typed.
3. Enter the second level (small coffee) followed by another
separator.
4. Enter the third level of information (large coffee). The entire
programming line should look like the following:
F5 MEDIUM COFFEE SMALL COFFEE LARGE COFFEE
5. Select a blank location to (F11) become the first level shift
position. Mark the legend sheet for this location SMALL.
6. Change the programming mode of this cell to scan-code mode
(F8). Depress and hold the ALT key while pressing the letter A.
A triangle inside brackets (< >) will appear on the programming
line. This key when depressed and held will activate all keys that
have a second level.
7. Select another blank location (F12). This will become the second
level shift position (will activate the third level of information). Mark
the legend sheet for this position LARGE.

8. Change the programming mode of this cell to the scan-code mode
(F8). Depress and hold the ALT key while depressing the letter A
twice. Two triangles inside brackets will appear on the programming
line.
9. To use this feature in your application is extremely simple. When
medium coffee is desired just press the F5 key (the first level of
information stored in cell F5 will be sent to the computer). When
a small coffee is desired press and hold the F11 key while pressing
the F5 key (the second level of information stored in cell F5 will
be sent to the computer). When a large coffee is desired press
and hold the F12 key while pressing the F5 key (the third level of
information stored in cell F5 will be sent to the computer)
NOTE: There is no preset limit to the number of levels that can be
programmed into a keyboard.
