Manual Configuration
3-2
Stop Bits
This parameter sets the number of stop bits between each character transmission, either one (1) or two
(2) with the following exceptions:
A. When using 7-data bits and no parity, the terminal will automatically select 2-stop bits.
B. When using 8-data bits and any parity the terminal will automatically select 1-stop bit.
In either case, the Stop Bits parameter will not be accessible. See
for accessibility. The default
value is one.
Display PE
When using parity checking, you can enable/disable this parameter to display a special character
) when a parity error occurs. The default value is ENABLE. If the Parity parameter is set to
IGNORE or NONE, the Display PE parameter will not be accessible. See
Figure 3-1: Parity Error Symbol

Repeat
This parameter determines the repeat keypad character rate while the key remains pressed. The
allowable values are SLOW (6 characters per second), MEDIUM (10 characters per second), FAST (36
characters per second) and DISABLED. The default value is MEDIUM. In all cases, there is a short delay
between the initial character and the start of the repeat.
Note
: Should you enable the KNP function (disabled by default), the Repeat parameter will not be
accessible.
Key Click
This parameter enables/disables the terminal’s ability to emit an audible click each time a key is
pressed, and for each repeated character. The default value is ENABLE.
