Install the external program "Keyboard" to be able to program the TopKey keyboard with the keys of the MF keyboard. Operation of the program "Keyboard" can be found under online help for this program. A review of this operation manual can be found under Keyboard program. General information on configuring a TopKey keyboard as an additional MF keyboard can be found under TopKey / MF keyboard.
Note:
Please note that after programming the TopKey keyboard with program
"Keyboard" the factory setting for the standard default will be
overwritten, i.e. the keyboard for use as a POS keyboard only has to be
programmed once again with the data of the factory setting.
When you configure a keyboard type of the type PS2 keyboard, you have to record the key codes of all existing keys in the table of the update program PS2 Key Assignment.
If you do not know the key codes, you can determine them as follows:
For the example above, you have to enter the following values in the table:
Key code |
Row |
Column |
65430 |
5 |
7 |
65433 |
5 |
6 |
65435 |

In the following, you will find an overview of the key codes for a PS2 keyboard as they are supported by the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application. A complete list of all key codes for the PC MF keyboard can be found under Keyboard table.
Key values of "normal" keys have their ASCII codes as the value. Please note that keys produce different codes, depending on if they are pressed in connection with the keys <SHIFT> / <CTRL> / <ALT-GR> or not. Within the data maintenance, a key can be configured with several different values (e.g. key <A> with the values 1, 65 and 97). The values for the rows and columns of a key have to be the same, of course (but it is possible to enter different rows and columns on purpose, e.g. to activate some kind of level switch via the <SHIFT> key).
