Characters
To choose a character set:
• Position the cursor on the appropriate item – for example, ISO – and press
<F1> to display the character set options.
• To activate a character set, press the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key to set it to “Y”.
Important: If you choose a Chinese character set from the ‘Misc.’ menu and a character sent from the host cannot be displayed on the 7535 screen, a shaded box character is used as a substitute. Please review “Default font” on page 189.
If you are using a Korean character set, a right arrow character is used as a substitute.
V Match Chr
This parameter enables visible field matching and defines the character that identifies visible field match data from the host. Field matching allows the host to pre-load data into an entry field that is compared with the user’s input. The hand-held beeps if the entered data does not match. Visible field matching means that the data to be matched is displayed in the entry field.
Enter the decimal value for the ASCII character that will be used by the host to identify visible match field data. Enter 0 (zero) to disable this feature.
Note: Another method of field matching is available directly through the
TESS data stream.
H Match Chr
This parameter enables hidden field matching and defines the character that identifies hidden field match data from the host. Field matching allows the host to pre-load data into an entry field that is compared with the user’s input. The 7535 beeps if the entered data does not match. Hidden field matching means that the data to be matched is not displayed in the entry field.
Enter the decimal value for the ASCII character that will be used by the host to identify hidden match field data. Enter 0 (zero) to disable this feature.
Note: Another method of field matching is available directly through the
TESS data stream.

Fill Chr
This parameter specifies the character that identifies empty entry fields. Enter the ASCII decimal equivalent of this character. The most commonly used characters are:
_ (underline)
.
(period)
Enter 95
Enter 46
Note: 7535s in some systems may use the “space” character with the host using reverse video attributes to mark entry fields.
Upper Case
When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), lowercase input is converted to uppercase.

AutoRep Fn
This parameter determines which function key is sent to the host in auto reply mode.
The value represents the number of the function key – not the ASCII decimal equivalent. After sending this key, the unit locks and waits for the host to unlock the
7535. To disable “AutoRep Fn”, set the “AutoRep T/O” parameter to zero.
AutoRep T/O
This parameter determines the time (in seconds) between the 7535 unlocking and the next transmission of the function key specified by the above parameter.
A value of zero disables auto reply mode.

Printer
This parameter enables and disables the pins in the serial port used for printers or other external devices.
Binary print
When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), the page displayed on the 7535 computer is spooled as is, except for trailing white-space removal. When disabled
(set to “N”), each line of the page displayed on the hand-held is preceded by a linefeed (LF) and followed by a carriage return (CR).
Queuing
This parameter enables and disables queuing mode (see “Queuing Mode” on page 128). It also enables TESS procedures to be loaded into the 7535. This parameter should be enabled if local procedures and the ability to switch between hosts within a TESS session are required. Changes to this parameter take effect only after the 7535 is reset.
Lcl Process – Save on Reset
The menu item “Local Process” has a sub-menu attached to it – “Save on Reset”.
When this parameter is enabled (set to “Y”), data stored in the 7535 is saved if the unit is reset. Local procedures are defined on page 127.
