Switch 1, LCD reverse or normal-Thisswitch tells your computer whether to display text on the screen in normal or reverse mode. In normal mode, black characters are displayed on a white background. In reverse mode, white characters are displayed on a black background.

Switches 2 and 3, gray-scalemode-Thesetwo switches select one of four available gray-scale modes. The gray-scale mode governs the way color information is displayed on your LCD screen. In mode 0, everything is displayed in black and white. For most of your work with the Equity LT-286, you probably want to use mode 0. In modes 1 and 2, information that appears in color on a color monitor appears in various shades of gray on your LCD screen. Modes 1 and 2 differ from each other only in the specific assignment of colors to gray tones. The gray tone assignments

are shown in Table 1-2.
