Learning How to Use the Reader
Using Text or Graphics Mode
You can use Text mode or Graphics mode on the reader. By default, the reader
uses Text mode and you can set the display size to 25 x 80, 16 x 20, 8 x 20,
16 x 10, and 8 x 10. If your application only recognizes DOS mode, you must
use a display size of 25 x 80 or 25 x 40. Other display sizes are not DOS
standard and are for use only with custom applications. You can program
applications to use blinking and reverse video characters in Text mode.
To use Graphics mode, your application needs to set Graphics mode when you
start the application on the reader. As you exit the application, set Text mode
again before returning to the DOS prompt. When the reader is set to use
Graphics mode, you see a 128 x 160 pixel display size. You can use the reader's
CGA display as a viewport to move around and see a 200 x 640 pixel virtual
display. In Graphics mode, you automatically use the reader's virtual display
(PC-size screen).
For help programming the reader or setting Graphics mode, see your JANUS
PSK reference manual.
Using the Display as a Viewport
You can see one section of a PC-size screen on the reader's smaller display for
applications that need to be PC compatible. You will only see 16 lines and 20
characters of data at one time. However, you can use the reader's display as a
viewport to move around and see the entire screen. By moving the viewport,
you use the reader's virtual display of 25 lines by 80 characters—the same size
as a PC screen.
In the reader's default configuration, the display size is configured for 25 x 80.
The first time you turn the reader on, it displays the upper left corner of the
virtual display. This is the viewport's home position. Any line of data that is
longer than 20 characters is in the unseen area of the virtual display. You move
the viewport to see each part of the virtual display.
When you move the viewport out of the home
position (upper left corner), the Viewport icon
displays until the viewport is returned to its
home position.

Note: To use the display as a viewport, you must configure the reader display size to
25 x 80. For help, see the "Display Setup" command in Chapter 12.
