Tab stop mode

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the setting and clearing of horizontal

tab stops apply to the same horizontal position of all lines on the page. When enabled

(set to ‘Y”), horizontal tab setting and clearing apply only to the current line.

Edit extent

This parameter selects the extent of the display to be affected by the ICH and DCH

controls and received character insertion. The possible values are Line, Area,

Display or Fld. The shifting caused by ICH, DCH and character insertion is

confined to the selected extent.

Disp controls

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), any control codes received from the

host are performed as described. When enabled (set to “Y”), any received control

functions are displayed and are not performed. If any C0 or C1 controls are received

from the host, their standard ANSI mnemonics are displayed in reverse video. Other

characters are displayed as normal characters. This mode can also be set with the Set

Mode (SM) control but can only be reset from the Parameters menu.

and from the serial and console ports on the 8525/8530. At the vehicle-mount, the

which port the ANSI print command will identify and use as primary and secondary.

The allowable options are: Any Available, 1st printer, 2nd printer, 3rd printer, 4th

printer, 1st Serial, 2nd Serial, 3rd Serial, 4th Serial and Disabled.
