Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual 127
Chapter 7: Setting Parameters
Font Size
7.5.8 Font Size
Note: This “Font Size” feature is used by the DOS command line or by
applications that do not provide font adjustment parameters.
Tekterm is equipped with its own font sizing capabilities. ANSI Font Sizes
are described under “Font Size” on page 152. TESS Font Sizes are
described under “Font Size” on page 162.
Important: Because the 8260 vehicle-mount terminal is equipped with a full
size – 25 x 80 – display, full screens can easily be displayed
without reducing the font size. For this reason, the 8260 does not
provide a Font menu.
This parameter is used to change the font size displayed on 7035 hand-helds and
8255 vehicle-mounts. Font sizes are represented in lines x characters (rows x
columns). Font availability varies depending on the type of terminal.
• Press the <RIGHT> arrow key to scroll through the options.
7.5.9 Cursor Type
Note: This “Cursor Type” parameter is used by the DOS command line or by
applications that do not provide cursor adjustment parameters.
Tekterm is equipped with its own cursor commands.
This parameter allows you to choose how you want the terminal cursor displayed.
You can choose either an Underline or Block cursor.
• Press the <RIGHT> arrow key to scroll through and choose an option.
7.5.10 Palette Remap
A DOS-based application generally uses a VGA colour palette. On Teklogix
terminals, these colours are converted to grey scale with varying degrees of success.
While grey scale displays well on a 7035 hand-held terminal, it does not display as
well on an 8255 LCD or an 8260 vehicle-mount terminal. The “Palette Remap”
parameter allows you to substitute default application colours with colours that will
display well on your Teklogix terminal.
Note: All built-in Teklogix software uses only intense white (VGA index 15) and
black (VGA index 0), both of which display well on Teklogix terminals.
