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.

Default

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
((Pari
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 (multipointonly)
must
be
set
to
ASCII8.
