Changing Allocated Function Keys

You can access extended features by pressing the function keys allocated to them. Use the following procedure to change the extended features allocated to function keys.

Depending on the type of extended features, allocation varies as follows:

Type-J*1 extended features

One function key is allocated to Type-J*1 extended features. Even if multiple Type-J*1 extended features are installed, you cannot allocate function keys to them individually.

If multiple Type-J*1 extended features are installed, you can specify their activation priority. For details, see "Setting Priority".

If no priorities are set or if the same function key is allocated to Type-C*2 extended features, you can switch between functions that are activated on the Other Functions screen. For details, see "Switching between Extended Features".

Type-C*2 extended features

If multiple Type-C*2 extended features are installed, you can allocate a function key to each.

If multiple extended features are allocated to a single function key, you can switch between functions that are activated on the Other Functions screen. For details, see "Switching between Extended Features".

  • If the device has [Registered Program] key on its operation panel, you can allocate extended features to them.

  • If multiple extended features are installed, use the [Registered Program] key for different types of extended features.

  • The "Allocated Key" is blank if extended features do not require an allocated function key.

  • You cannot select extended features that do not require allocated function keys or cannot have function keys allocated to them.

  • The number and names of the function keys differ according to the devices being used.
