Intro to Bump Bar
The Kitchen iQ bump bar is equipped with a large number of buttons, allowing the kitchen screen system to be optimised for both large and small organisations.
Each button has an alternative keyboard shortcut. These shortcuts vary according to whether the kitchen screen is configured to use a keyboard or a vertical bump bar.
If a kitchen screen is configured to use a vertical bump bar but for some reason it is not working, connecting a keyboard instead will provide control over the kitchen screen using the vertical bump bar keyboard shortcuts.
If a kitchen screen is configured to use a keyboard, the standard keyboard shortcuts will apply.
