MX7 Reference Guide 

You can enter data into the MX7 through several different methods. The scan aperture provides 
barcode data entry, the I/O port is used to input/output data, and the keypad provides manual 
entry.  

Mobile devices with a touchscreen use a stylus to input data, the I/O port and/or the keypad. An 
input panel (virtual keyboard) is available in applications that expect keyed input. 

The keypad is used to manually input data that is not collected otherwise. Almost any function 
that a full sized computer keyboard can provide is duplicated on the MX7 keypads but it may take 
a few more keystrokes to accomplish a keyed task. Please refer to “Appendix A – Key Maps” for 
instruction on the specific keypresses to access all keypad functions. 

Almost every key has two or three different functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is 
printed on the key.  

The Orange or Blue keys are pressed when you want to use a “sticky” key function. For example, 
when you press a Blue or Orange key (the sticky key), then press the key that has the desired 
second-function key, the second-function key is the “active” key. The specific sticky character is 
printed above the corresponding key in either Orange or Blue.  

The virtual keyboard is always available when needed e.g. text field input. Tap the keyboard icon 
at the bottom of the screen to put the virtual keyboard on the display. Using the stylus: 

• 

Tap the Shift key to type one capital letter. 

• 

Tap the CAPS key to type all capital letters. 

• 

Tap the au key to access symbols. 

 

Some applications do not automatically display the Input Panel. In this case, do the following to 
use the Input Panel: 

1.  Tap the Input Panel/Virtual Keyboard icon in the taskbar. 
2.  Select “Keyboard” from the menu. 
3.  Tap the data entry area on the display when you want to enter data  using the Input Panel.
