Configure a SHIFT Function Key
This step walks you through the configuration of Function Key 4 as a SHIFT function
key. The function key can then be used with shifted function keys to send the alternate or
“shifted” ASCII string to the host. When the SHIFT function key is not pressed, any
shifted function key will send its normal or “unshifted” ASCII string to the host. If the
SHIFT key is held down, the shifted function key will send the “shifted” ASCII string.
1. If you are not already in the Function Key Editor, press F5.
2. In the Assignment group box, select the F4 option button to configure Function Key 4.
3. In the Action drop down list box, select Shift Key.
4. Choose the Done button to return to the STEPware-100 main screen.
