HP 700-92/96 Emulation

Log Bottom remains activated until either this button or F3 is pressed again, Log Top is activated, a reset is performed, or the emulation is exited.

Log Top - F4

When the display memory becomes full and more data is received from the host or keyboard, lines of data from the top of the display are deleted to make way for the new data. The Log Top function enables the data that is removed from the top of the display to be sent to the printer when the To Ext Dev function is activated in the Device Control menu.

Note: Both the emulation and the host must be using the ENQ/ ACK or Xon/Xoff handshakes or a baud rate that is no higher than the rate supported by the printer.

Log Top remains activated until either this button or F4 is pressed again, Log Bottom is activated, a reset is performed, or the emulation is exited.

Note: This function does not take effect when Memory Lock is activated.

Margins, Tabs & Start Column

This set of function buttons is displayed by pressing the F9 key (which is equivalent to the HP 700-92/96 User System key) then F2. These functions enable you to redefine the start column, set tabs, and specify the left and right margins.

Start Column - F1

This function is used to temporarily redefine the start column for transmitted data when no logical start-of-text pointer is present and the Return or Enter keys are pressed in Modify Line or Modify All mode.

Note: The default start column is specified in the HP Settings dialog box. Refer to the Setup Menus chapter for details.

Usually a start-of-text pointer is automatically generated to designate the leftmost character in the current line if it is the last line of data in display memory. The pointer will remain in display memory until the line is deleted. If the line has no start-of-text pointer, data transmission will begin at the start column specified by this option. The column range that can be specified is from 1 to 80, inclusive.
