Field
mode
• In a left justified field, the [DEL] key erases all characters in the field
and places the cursor in the left most position of that field.
• In a right justified field, the [DEL] key erases all characters in the field
and places the cursor in the right most position of that field.
• If the [DEL] key is used to clear data in a field that has been pre-filled by
the host application, the field is flagged as modified and the updated
information is sent to the host in the next response message.

• In both left and right justified fields, the [DEL] key erases characters
beginning from the current cursor position to the end of the field. The
cursor remains in the same position in the field.
• If the [DEL] key is pressed while cursor is in the right most
position in the field, the unit emits a keyboard error beep.
• If the [DEL] key is used to clear data in a field that has been
pre-filled by the host application, the field is flagged as modified and the
updated information is sent to the host in the next response message.

• In both left and right justified fields, the [DEL] key erases the characters
from one character position to right of the cursor to
the end of the field.
