# 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 7535 display.
Display panning is used if the page is wider than the display.
Note: The value in this parameter must be an even number.
# 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 computer’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.

Pages Saved
This parameter determines the number of pages that can be stored and recalled at the 7535. Storing frequently used page data at the 7535 reduces the need for the host to retransmit complete page data over the radio link. Retransmitting data can reduce the system response time. Increasing the number of saved pages decreases the available memory for other functions.
App. Parameter
The “Application” parameter is sent to the host system as part of the response to the TESS query command. Enter zero to disable this parameter.

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 8 characters for each softkey label, the text will be shortened to better fit in the available space on your display.
