Epson MFJ-1278B manual Pass n Mode Packet Default $16, Ctrl-V Ctrl-C

MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE OPERATIONAL COMMANDS

Parameters:

n0 - 3, selecting a parity option from the table below.

This command sets the word parity mode for the terminal or computer data transfer according to the following table:

n Value	Parity
0	no parity
1	odd parity
2	no parity
3	even parity

The parity bit, if present, is automatically stripped on input and not checked in Command Mode and Converse Mode. In Transparent Mode, all eight bits, including parity if any, are transmitted in packets. If "no parity" is set and AWLEN is 7, the eighth bit will be set to 0 in Transparent Mode.

PASS n Mode: Packet Default: $16

Parameter:

n0 - $7F, specifying an ASCII character code.

This command selects the ASCII character used for the "pass" input editing command. The parameter n is the ASCII code for the character you want to type in order to include the following character in a packet or text string. You can enter the code in either hex or decimal.

You can use this character to send any character in packets, even though that character may have some special function. For example, suppose you have set COMMAND 3, specifying that <CTRL-C> is your Command Mode entry character. If you use a Bulletin Board program that requires a <CTRL-C> to escape from some operation, you will type

<CTRL-V> <CTRL-C>

to insert a <CTRL-C> character in your packet. Of course, if you do this frequently you would be better off to change your Command Mode entry character. The default PASS character is <CTRL-V>.
