FIELD
Configuring the Terminal
Table 3-3. Terminal Configuration Menu Fields (Continued)
FUNCTION
The logical start-of-text pointer is generated only when both
of the following conditions are true:
1. The terminal is in any mode except Line Modify or Modify
All (Remote, Local, Character, Block, or Format mode).
2. The line in which you are entering data is the bottommost
used line in display memory (there are no printing or
non-printing characters following the current line in dis-
play memory).
When you are operating in Line Modify or Modify All mode
and you press. or
1:1,
the data transmission from the
terminal normally begins at the logical start-of-text pointer
in the particular line. If the line has no logical start-of-text
pointer, however, the data transmission begins at the desig-
nated start column. This designated start column can be
defined and saved in nonvolatile memory using the
((S tar t Co 1"
field of the Terminal Configuration menu. The
active value of this field can also be temporarily redefined
using one of the ((margin/tab/col" function keys.
Values: 1 - 80
Default
=
1
ASCII 8 Bits
When this operating mode is enabled
(Yes),
the terminal
transmits 8-bitASCII codes in which the eighth (high-order)
bit, when set (1), indicates that the character is from the
Roman Extension character set. This is a Hewlett-Packard
convention, ordinarily used only when communicating with
an HP 300 computer system, an HP 3000 (MPE 5) computer
system, or in conjunction with certain HP line printers (such
as the HP2635A Printing Terminal).
If set to
Yes,
the
((Par
i
ty" field on the datacomm menu must
be set to
Hone,
the
«Da taBi t s"
field (point~to-point only) must
be set to
8,
and the
((Code"
field (multipoint only) must be set to
ASCII8.
