Buttons Preferences
The Buttons Preferences screen enables you to associate different applications with the
buttons on the front of the SPT 1700 terminal. For example, if you find that you seldom use
the To Do List application and often use the Expense application, you can assign the To Do
List button to start the Expense application.
Any changes you make in the Buttons Preferences screen become effective immediately;
you do not have to switch to a different screen or application.
If you assign a different application to a button, you can still access the original application
using the Applications Launcher. Refer to
