to enter ONE-WAY mode. ONE-WAY mode
allows the R/F Terminal to transmit data to the host computer
without prompting from the host computer program – we call
this “dumb” data entry. (If you want a Terminator Character

Setup Menu
). ONE-WAY mode is also useful for demos, as it
does not require any interaction from the host computer.
