PrinteD legenDS
For maximum Versatility
Printing allows you the flexibility to create your
own legend using whole words and symbols with
various type styles. Durable epoxy ink printing
bonds to the button cap surface. There are two
types of button cap printing:
top Surface Printing: Legend is applied directly
to the top of the button. Button is recessed slightly
below the keyboard housing.
Sub-Surface Printing:
For insertable legend
models. Provides maximum wear for printed
surfaces. Printed internal button cap is protected
by clear snap-on cap.
Printed typestyles:
The typestyle chart
illustrates type style, size and approximate
character limits for button caps. Grayhill's library
of typefaces includes most popular legends.

4x4 Size: -001, -002, -003, -004, -005 or -006
Follow this procedure:
1. Basic Keyboard. Formulate the part number
with the exception of the legend suffix.
2. mounting.
Standard mounting is shown in
our dimensional drawings. These drawings
relate the terminal location to the button legend
orientation. It is possible to rotate the button
legends by 90°, changing the orientation.
When mounting the keypad, it would be rotated
90° to have the legends appear upright. A 3x4
keypad thus becomes a 4x3.
3. Color. Many colors, other than our standard
black housing, are available. Buttons can
be made from equivalent plastic in black,
red, green, blue and yellow. White legends
are used with dark color buttons, black with
light ones. Other colors available on special
order.
4. Buttons. Legends can be printed on button
surface and protected by a snap-on cap in
a similar fashion to our insertable legend
types. A second option is printing a ‘blank’
button. (One that has the same dimensions
as a molded-in legend button with a flat top
surface.) Disadvantage is legend wear over
time. A third option is molded-in legends,
usually requiring tooling. Molded buttons are
available with a flat or concave top surface.
5. legends. Specify the legend requirements
for each button. Identify buttons per our
dimensional drawings. Caution if keypad has
been rotated.
