The application must be in .exe file format and it can be set by setting a correct path in registry.
Path : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Keypad\MultiFunc
Key : P1Path (for application 1)
: P2Path (for application 2)
Value : {.exe file location}
Example of assigning ScanEmul to Application 1 using StartUp.inf is shown below.
RegSetValue=/s string [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Keypad\MultiFunc] P1Path : “\Flash Disk\Scanner\ScanEmul.exe”
3. M3.INI Method
By editing M3.INI file, you can customize the keys as well. M3.INI is located in the StartUp folder in the Flash Disk of the Device. To edit the file, you may require copying the file to your PC.
If you open M3.INI file, you will find the following section:
// M3SMART SideKey
// Function : 0=Default 1=VK_ESCAPE 2=VK_F13 3=VK_F14 4=VK_F17 5=VK_F18
// 6=VK_SPACE 7=VK_RETURN 8=SIP ON/OFF 9=excute application1
// 10=excute application2 11=Winodws Key 12=Home 13=PgUp 14=End 15=PgDn

From the file, change the value of Install to 1 and assign a value according to the function to each button as you like. Then, copy the modified M3.INI back to the StartUp folder. Customization will be applied after soft reset of the device.
To assign functions or applications to F keys, uncomment the entry in M3.ini.
i.e. remove // at the front of the entry.
4. VisualINI Method
To use VisualINI, first you need to install it. To install manually, you can click VisualINI.CAB in Driver folder of Flash Disk or to install automatically after reset, set install value of [VISUALINI_INSTALL] to 1 in m3.ini file.
If VisualINI is installed, you can find StartUp icon at [Start] [Settings] [Systems] [StartUp]
VisualINI provides the same function as the M3.INI file but with GUI. Hence, user can utilize VisualINI where directly editing M3.INI is not possible.
Make sure INSTALL checkbox is checked to make the modification affected.
5. Registry Change
Under registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Keypad\MultiFunc, user will find all button keys and values. Sample is shown below.
User can change the value of each key from 0 to 17 as required.
