Transmission Mode
Use the transmission mode (labeled “Mode” on the key-
board) to put the PEN*KEY computer into line edit (block)
mode or character mode. To alternate between modes,
press [Gold]+[PF1]. The modes are described on pages 8-55
and 8-56 in Section 8, “Programming.”
When “lock mode” is disabled through the firmware menus,
you can press the mode key to toggle between line edit
mode and character mode. When lock mode is enabled, you
cannot toggle between line edit (block) mode and character
mode. The default setting is “disabled.”
Local Edit Mode
If your application software program supports local editing
you can use the PEN*KEY computer in local edit mode,
which is a feature of the VT330/VT340 terminal. Local edit
mode is described on page 8-62 in Section 8.
