6.5.5 Data Entry
The 7535 accepts data until the operator presses a key that sends a transmission to the host computer. The following actions cause the 7535 to transmit:
• Pressing a function key or the <ENTER> key (which is considered to be
<F0>) causes the 7535 to transmit.
• Completing data entry into a “transmit on entry” field also causes the
7535 to transmit.
