be transmitted to an external printer after each ASCII control
code.
Default= 0
LocalEcho
This field specifies whether characters entered through the
keyboard are both displayed on the screen and transmitted to
the host computer.
On:
Characters entered through the keyboard are both
displayed on the screen and transmitted to the host
computer.
Off:
Characters entered through the keyboard are trans-
mitted to the hostcomputer only (if they are to appear
on the screen, the host computer must cCecho" them
back to the terminal).
Default=Off
Caps Lock
This field specifies whether the terminal generates the full
128-characterASCII
set or only Teletype-compatible codes.
On:
The terminal generates only Teletype-compatible
codes: uppercaseASCII (OO-5F, hex) and DEL (7F, hex).
Unshifted alphabetic keys (a-z)
generate the codes for
their uppercase equivalents, the {, I, and } keys
generate the codes for [, \, and ], respectively. The key
for generating '\,0 and ' is disabled.
Off:
The terminal generates the full 128-characterASCII
set of codes.
Default=Off
Start Col
Under a very specific set of circumstances, when you enter
data through the keyboard the terminal remembers, for each
line, which character was the leftmost one that you entered.
This is accomplished through the use of a logical start-of-text
pointer that is maintained with the line in display memory.
