2.8.3 Onscreen Indicators – 7035 Only
Onscreen indicators appear in the status area at the bottom of the terminal screen to
indicate a variety of terminal conditions.
Note: Only the 7035 hand-held terminal is equipped with a status area. The
vehicle-mount terminals use LEDs to indicate various terminal states.
Important: The “One-Shot Mode” parameters described on page 121 are
used to alter the behaviour of the 7035 modifier keys – that is, how
these keys are locked “on” and unlocked.
