DEL Key
This parameter determines whether the [DEL] key acts as a delete key, erasing
the character to the right of the cursor, or a backspace key, erasing the character
to the left of the cursor or as a clear key, erasing the contents of a field.
BKSP Key
This parameter determines whether the [BKSP] key acts as a backspace key, erasing
the character to the left of the cursor, as a delete key, erasing the character to the
right of the cursor or as a clear key, erasing the contents of a field.
PrintScreen Key
This parameter determines the “hot-key” for printing the screen contents via the
8525/8530 serial port. The default is [CTRL] P (16).
Note: The 8525/8530’s port must be set to “printer” (see“Ports– Tether And Con-
sole” on page 241).
Xmit Enter
The [ENTER] key normally enters data into a field and moves the cursor to the next
field. However, some applications require that the [ENTER] key start a
transmission from the 8525/8530. When enabled (set to “Y”), this parameter causes
the [ENTER] key to start a transmission.
Insert
When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), it behaves in “replace” mode –
a character entered at the keyboard or received from the host replaces the
character at the cursor position. The cursor then advances one character position.
When enabled (set to “Y”), the character entered at the keyboard or received from
the host is inserted at the cursor position after shifting the characters at and following
the cursor forward one position. The cursor is advanced one position. The extent
of the characters affected by the shift depends on the setting of the “Edit Extent”
parameter (see page 216).
