Data Entry
You can enter data into the Marathon through several different methods. Manual data entry methods include the keyboard and
touch screen. Automated data entry methods include the imager module, a wireless Bluetooth scanner, a tethered USB
scanner and the magnetic card reader module.
Keyboard Data Entry
Refer to
Key Maps
for 101-key keyboard equivalent key presses.
The 62-key keyboard with number pad 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 keyboard but it may take a few more keystrokes to accomplish a
keyed task.
When using the keyboard, some keys have multiple functions. The primary alpha or numeric character is printed on the key.
Bar Code Data Entry
The Marathon supports an accessory imager module for bar code label reading, as well as a wireless Bluetooth bar code
scanner and a tethered USB scanner.
Keyboard data entries can be mixed with bar code data entries.
Magnetic Card Data Entry
The Marathon supports an accessory magnetic card reading module. Keyboard data entries can be mixed with magnetic card
data reader entries.
