Epson MFJ-1278B Lfadd Onoff, Mode ASCII/Packet Default OFF, Lfaddalt ON/OFF, Lfignore ON/OFF

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

LFADD ONOFF Mode: ASCII/Packet Default: OFF

When LFADD is ON and the ASCII or Packet mode is selected, MFJ-1278 will append an ASCII line feed character, $0A, to the transmission immediately after a carriage return is sent.

LFADD should usually be switched OFF as the vast majority of TNCs (including the MFJ- 1278B) are configured to automatically go to a new line whenever a carriage return is printed.

LFADDALT ON/OFF Mode: RTTY Default: ON

LFADDALT is very similar to the LFADD command above. However this command applies ONLY to Baudot RTTY mode.

Baudot RTTY operation almost always requires that a line feed be sent along with a carriage return. When LFADDALT is ON the MFJ-1278B will automatically insert the Baudot line feed whenever the user sends a carriage return.

There is one case where line feeds should not be automatically transmitted, that is when sending complex radio teletype pictures.

LFIGNORE ON/OFF Mode: Packet Default: OFF

Parameters:

ON MFJ-1278B will ignore <LF> characters.

OFF MFJ-1278B will respond to <LF> characters.

This command controls whether MFJ-1278B responds to ASCII Lind Feed (<LF> $OA) characters or ignores them in command and converse modes.

When turned on, line feeds are totally ignored except in transparent mode.
