Character Mode
Character mode (the default) is a condition where the wire-
less station sends, to the host computer, each key as you
press it. You should place the wireless station into charac-
ter mode during these situations:
" When the wireless station should immediately send
information to the host computer. This operation is
called “type ahead.”
" When the wireless station’s keyboard sends a charac-
ter to the display as well as to the host. This opera-
tion is called “local echo.” If local echo is disabled, the
host receives the character from the wireless station
and then sends the return response.
To alternate between line edit and character modes, press
the correct sequence of keys from the chart below. An an-
nunciator in the wireless station’s display indicates the cur-
rent mode.
