7.11.2 Displaying The Global Macros Table
To display the “Global Macros” table:
• In the “Parameters” menu, position the cursor on the “Global Macros”
option, and press <F1> to display the macro table.
Note: This is a sample 44-key 7035 macro table. Vehicle-mount terminals dis-
plays 12 macro fields rather than 4.
• Position the cursor in the macro field corresponding to the macro key to
which you want to assign macros – #1 corresponds to macro key <M1>,
#2 corresponds to macro key <M2>, and so on.
Once the cursor is in a macro field, you have a number of options when creating a
macro. You can type text and numbers, choose from a set of ASCII characters and
program the function of special keys into a macro.
In macros, the <UP> arrow, <DOWN> arrow, <ENTER> and <DEL> keys have the
following functions:
• The <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys move the cursor between entry fields.
• The <ENTER> key once moves the cursor to the first position in the entry
field; pressing <ENTER> a second time completes the entry field, exits the
sub-menu and returns the cursor to the “parent” or previous menu.
• The <DEL> key deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
• The <CLR> key – <BLUE> <DEL> – clears the entire field. If the last
character in a field is deleted, the previous contents, if any, reappear.
7.11.3 Choosing An ASCII Character
Important: Make sure the <CTRL> and <SHIFT> keys are turned off!
By pressing either the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key, you can cycle through a set
of printable characters not available on the keyboard. The sample below is a set of
ASCII characters not accessible from the keyboard.
7035: / < > % ^ & ` ~ | [ ] { } " ' ? = + ;
8255/8260: ^ & ‘ ~ | [ ] { } ’ "
• Press the <RIGHT> arrow to display the next character in this sequence,
and the <LEFT> arrow to display the previous one.
