The Standard Keys
3.2.3 The Standard Keys
The <SHIFT> Key
The <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase letters – and on 7035’s – it is also
used to access the punctuation marks displayed on the numeric keys. When this key
is pressed, it is only active until the next alphanumeric key is pressed. For example,
once you press <SHIFT> and type the letter q, the letter is displayed in uppercase
and the “shift” function turns off.
To display all alpha characters in uppercase, lock the <SHIFT> key “on” by
pressing it twice. To unlock the <SHIFT> key, press it a third time. For more
details about the lock function, refer to “Key Lock Function” on page 52.
Note: On vehicle-mounts without a dedicated <SHIFT> key, the <ORANGE>
key is used to access the <SHIFT> function.
The Arrow Keys
The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow –
up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that
indicates where the next character you type will appear.
Manual Panning Keys (Arrow Keys)
If the contents of a screen are too large to fit in the margins of the terminal window,
they can be “panned” or shifted to display the information that is outside the
margins. The 7035, 8255 and 8260 terminals allow both manual and automatic
panning. The “Panning” parameter specifies when and how the screen contents
should be shifted.
Note: For details about Auto Panning, refer to “Auto Pan, Left Margin, Right
Margin And Bottom Margin” on page 124.
Manual panning – shifting the contents of the screen using the <BLUE> key in
combination with the <LEFT>, <RIGHT>, <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys –
relies on the values set in the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters to
determine the number of columns (spaces) and rows (lines) to pan or shift.
To access the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters:
• In the “Parameters” menu, position the cursor on the “System” option and
press <F1>.
• Move the cursor down to “Panning” and press <F1>.
