User's Manual

NOTE: If the cursor is positioned on a line below the last displayable line of data, nothing will
be sent to the printer. If the cursor is positioned on an empty line between two blocks of data, the
printer will perform a carriage return and line feed.
Device Modes
This set of functions is asserted by pressing the F9 key (equivalent to the User System key) then F1
and F1 again.
●
Device Control - F1
Clicking this button or pressing F1 will cause the Device Control functions to be asserted. These
enable you to select the device(s) to which data is sent and also to copy portions of data from
display memory to the printer. The buttons and keys F1 through F8 will function as described in
the section Device Control on page 105.
●
Record Mode - F2
This is used to copy data received from the host to the printer and/or display, depending on the
setting of the To Ext Dev and To Display labels in the Device Control menu.
NOTE: This function does not take effect when the emulation is in Local mode. In Remote mode,
received data is sent directly to the selected device(s).
The keyboard will be disabled when Record mode is activated except for the F2 key which is used
to exit the mode.
●
Log Bottom - F3
When the cursor moves to the next line as a result of an explicit line feed or end-of-line
wraparound, the line of data which the cursor has just moved from will be sent to the printer when
this function is activated. This enables you to create a hardcopy of all the lines in the order in
which they were entered via the keyboard or received from the host.
NOTE: The terminal emulation and the host must both be using the ENQ/ACK or Xon/Xoff
handshakes, or a baud rate that is no higher than the rate supported by the printer.
Log Bottom remains activated until either this button or F3 is pressed again, Log Top is
activated, a reset is performed, or the emulation is exited.
●
Log Top - F4
When the display memory becomes full and more data is received from the host or keyboard,
lines of data from the top of the display are deleted to make way for the new data. The Log Top
function enables the data that is removed from the top of the display to be sent to the printer when
the To Ext Dev function is activated in the Device Control menu.
NOTE: The terminal emulation and the host must both be using the ENQ/ACK or Xon/Xoff
handshakes, or a baud rate that is no higher than the rate supported by the printer.
Log Top remains activated until either this button or F4 is pressed again, Log Bottom is
activated, a reset is performed, or the emulation is exited.
