Control Keys Only
Several special keys on the RF Terminal keypad can generate a response automatically, sending a separate message to the host
by simply pressing the appropriate control key (without pressing the ENTER key afterward). This allows for simple and fast
scrolling by the operator. The arrow keys, Begin, End, and Search are the specific keys supported. The default setting is to re-
quire the ENTER key to be pressed before data transmission.
If you set this feature to ON, in order for the RF Terminal to transmit the following values, the corresponding Control Key must
be the first key pressed in a data entry sequence. If it is not the first data entered, the arrow key is ignored.

Automatic Check Back
This parameter should not be changed under normal circumstances. After the host sends a prompt, the Terminal goes to sleep
waiting on the operator to key or scan input in response to the prompt. It waits until the Automatic Shut Off time or until the oper-
ator responds. This parameter sets the time that the Terminal stops waiting on input from the operator, discards the current
prompt, and goes back to the host to see if there is a change in instructions. If no change, the host must resend the prompt again
because the Terminal has discarded the original prompt. The host now has the opportunity to change a prompt. The time can be
set in increments of 5 seconds, up to 495 seconds. The default value is 00. The values possible for entry are 00-99. An entered 99
gives 99x5 seconds, or 495 seconds between check backs. The Terminal sends back an ASCII 07 for the data back to the host (ID
ASCII 07 CR). To change this value press the 6 key in the RF Configuration menu and enter the 2 digit value desired.
