To turn initial echo on or off:
1. Verify that the cursor is in the Initial echo (ON,OFF) field.
Echo allows terminal input to be echoed back to the terminal screen
by the computer as the input is received.
2. Type to enable initial echo. Type OFF to disable initial echo.
To specify whether form feed is allowed to be output to a terminal:
1. Press the
[Tab] key to move the cursor to the Form feed allowed
in output carriage control (Y/N) field. This character is
usually contained in the carriage control sent to the hard copy
device. Some hard copy devices will not accept the form feed
character.
2. Type Y if the form feed character should be sent to the hard copy
device.
