Screen

Field Scroll

When enabled (set to “Y”), the display window moves to the left after entering a

new entry field.

Pages Saved

This parameter determines the number of pages that can be stored and recalled at

the 8525/8530. Storing frequently used page data at the 8525/8530 reduces the need

for the host to retransmit complete page data over the radio link. Retransmitting data

can reduce the system response time. Increasing the number of saved pages

decreases the available memory for other functions.

App. Parameter

The “Application” parameter is sent to the host system as part of the response to

the TESS query command. Enter zero to disable this parameter.

Label F1-F10

Note: This menu uses string entry fields. For detailed information about completing

this type of field, refer to “String Entry Parameters” on page 181.

Softkeys are function keys that have been programmed to perform specific actions

in your application. These keys are identified through softkey labels – reverse video

labels that are displayed at the bottom of the screen. These softkey labels can be

reconfigured using the menu attached to the “Label F1-F10” parameter.

To edit a label:

• Position the cursor in the appropriate function key field within the

Label menu, and type a new name – preferably one that describes

the corresponding key’s function.

Note: Although you can enter up to 8 characters for each softkey label, the text will

be shortened to better fit in the available space on your display.
