New Line
(remote programmable) permits the following settings:
!
Off (Default)
!
On: The New Line parameter selects the control code or codes that the
terminal transmits when you press the Return key and, if the auxiliary keypad
is in the numeric mode, when you press the Enter key. The New Line
parameter also determines the action taken by the terminal when it receives
the ASCII codes line feed <LF>, form feed <FF>, or vertical tab <VT> from
the host.
The choices for the New Line parameter and the resulting effects on codes
sent to the host are shown in Table I.
The effects of the New Line parameter on cursor movement are shown in
Table J.
Auto Wrap (remote programmable) determines whether the cursor moves to the
beginning of the next line when the terminal tries to display characters that run off
the right margin (column 80) of the display.
!
Off (Default) . When the Auto Wrap parameter is set to Off, a character
displayed when the cursor is at the right margin replaces the previously
displayed character, and the cursor remains stationary
!
On. When the Auto Wrap parameter is set to On, and the cursor is at the right
margin, the next character to be displayed is placed on the following line at
the left margin. (Note that the tab code <HT> never moves the cursor to the
next line.)
H/W Handshake determines which RS-232 handshake signals must be asserted
before the terminal transmits.
!
None (Default) : The terminal does not check any RS-232 signals before
transmitting.
!
CTS: The terminal transmits only when CTS is asserted.
!
DSR: The terminal transmits only while DSR is asserted.
!
CTS/DSR: Both CTS and DSR must be asserted for the terminal to transmit.
