Calling up and exiting the Setup Screen
Use either the Setup switch or an optional keyboard to call up the Setup screen.
The Setup switch is a defined touch space as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15: Location of Setup Switch
To call up the Setup screen , double-touch (two quick successive touches at
the same location) the Setup switch or press the Setup key ( F10 ) on the keyboard.
To exit the Setup screen , touch the Setup switch or press the Setup key again.
Input buffer
While using the Setup screen and any of the screens that can be accessed from the
Setup screen, the terminal continues to receive any input the host may send.
Once the Setup screen is called up, input from the host is stored in the terminal
input buffer and is not processed until the Setup screen is exited. If the input buffer
begins to get full, the terminal automatically stalls transmission from the host to
prevent buffer overflow.
Organization of the Setup screen
The Setup screen has three functional areas: the Direct Action Area, the Parameter
List Area, and the Operational Status Window (Figure 16).
!
Direct Action Area
(left side of the display) is made up of the touch keys
that operate the Setup screen and allow you to take immediate actions not
necessarily associated with the parameter list, such as resetting the terminal.
Important
The host computer can block user access to the Setup screen by setting the Setup
Lockout Mode. In this mode, the Setup switch and the keyboard Setup key are disabled.
This can be done by the application software running on the host computer in situations
where user access to Setup parameters needs to be restricted. For more information, refer
to the application developer’s guide (available for download at www.3Mtouch.com).
