Arrow Keys Only
No 0
Yes 1
Some customers have requested that the Arrow Keys on the RF Terminal
keypad be able to generate a response automatically, sending a separate
message to the host by simply pressing the appropriate arrow key (without
pressing the ENTER key afterward). This allows for simple and fast scrolling
by the operator. The default setting is to require the ENTER key to be
pressed before data transmission.
If you set this feature to 1 (YES), in order for the RF Terminal to transmit the
following values, the corresponding Arrow Key must be the first key pressed
in a data entry sequence. If it is not the first data entered, the arrow key is
ignored.
Arrow Key on RF Terminal Code transmitted to Host
Up Arrow FS (ASCII 28)
Down Arrow GS (ASCII 29)
Left Arrow RS (ASCII 30)
Right Arrow US (ASCII 31)
The message is sent to the host as:

6 line display mode 0
4 line display mode 1
WARNING: All Terminals shipped with 6 line displays are configured as 6 line
display terminals and will not work in an existing system setup for 4 line
display terminals. If you are currently operating a system that uses 4 line
displays and have not changed your program to utilize the 6 line display terminals,
you MUST change the LCD Display Mode to 4 line display in order for a
Terminal with a 6 line displays to SIGN ON to your system.
As of RF Terminal version 9075, support is included for both a 4 line and a 6
line display. Prior to version 9075, only 4 line display terminals were available.
In order to maintain backwards compatibility, 6 line Terminals using version
9075 or greater have the ability to operate as either type of display. If you try
to Sign-On with a terminal operating in 6 line mode to a Base with firmware
prior to 9075, you will get the message:
