Screen
# of Rows
This parameter defines the logical page length (in lines) used by the host computer application. Emulator systems trim the host application screens to this length. This page length cannot be smaller than the length of the hand-held’s display. Display panning is used if the page is longer than the display.
Note: The value in this parameter must be an even number.
# of Cols
This parameter defines the logical page width (in characters) used by the host computer application. Emulator systems trim the host application screens to this width. This page width cannot be smaller than the width of the display. Display panning is used if the page is wider than the display.
Note: The value in this parameter must be an even number.
Default font
This parameter determines the default font that appears when the 7535 memory is reset. The allowable values are: 16x30 , 19x30 , 19x40 , 22x15 , 22x20 , 22x24 ,
22x30 , 22x48 , 33x30 , 33x40 , 33x48 , 8x15 , 8x20 (Thai), 9x12 (Arabic),
10x9 (Traditional Chinese), 10x15 , 11x10 (Korean), 12x24 (Thai), 13x12 ,
13x15 , 13x20 , 14x30 , 15x21 , 16x15 (Traditional Chinese), 16x15 (Korean),
16x15 (Simplified Chinese).
• Use the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key to scroll through the available options.
80-col. font & 132-col. font
These parameters are used to set the font size on the screen if the default font is not acceptable. An escape sequence must be sent from the host before a hand-held can switch to either 80-col .
font or 132-col .
font .
• Use the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow keys to scroll through the size options for these parameters. The font sizes are listed in “Default Font” above.

Xmit Modes
Softkeys are function keys that have been programmed to perform specific actions in your application. These keys are identified through softkey labels – reverse video labels that are displayed at the bottom of the screen. These softkey labels can be reconfigured using the menu attached to the “Label F1-F6” parameter.
To edit a label:
• Position the cursor in the appropriate function key field within the
Label menu, and type a new name – preferably one that describes the corresponding key’s function.
Note: Although you can enter up to 9 characters for each softkey label, the text will be shortened to better fit in the available space on your display.

Xmit Modes
Xmit Count
This parameter determines how many characters from the keyboard or scanner are buffered by the 7535 before being transmitted to the host. If 0 (zero) is selected, the hand-held transmits only according to the “Xmit Wait” parameter. If the ANSI block mode features are used, this parameter should be set to 99.
Note: If the 7535 is not in local edit mode, the <ENTER>, arrow, <CTRL>, and function keys cause an immediate radio transmission regardless of the “Xmit Count” parameter setting.
Xmit Wait
This parameter determines the length of time the 7535 collects keystrokes before transmitting them to the host. This value is specified in increments of one 10th of a second (i.e., a value of 10 represents 1 second). If 0 (zero) is selected, the computer transmits only according to the “Xmit Count” parameter.
Note: If the 7535 is not in local edit mode, the <ENTER>, arrow, <CTRL>, and function keys cause an immediate radio transmission regardless of the “Xmit Wait” parameter setting.
Dev Attr
This string entry parameter specifies a device attribute string. This string can be up to 16 characters long. The computer sends this string to the host when it receives a
DA or DECID control. The example shown in the “Xmit Modes” screen sample on page 166 is the device attribute sent to a VAX, identifying the Psion Teklogix handheld computer as a VT220 terminal. This parameter may or may not be set, depending on the requirements of the host computer.
Auto-Answer
This string can be up to 30 characters long and is sent by the 7535 as a reply to an “ENQ” character from the host. The “Auto-Answer” string is programmable in the same manner as the keyboard macros. For example, this string can be used to automatically send the username and password when logging into the host. Refer to "Macros" beginning on page 145 for additional details about macros.
