| Chapter 6: NCR 7454 4x20 Customer Display |
| Set Screen Save Blank |
Format: | 1B 09 |
Description: | This command is intended to preserve the life of the display hardware |
| unit. The firmware maintains a |
| feature. The Screen Save feature can be disabled through a command |
| from the host software. When the feature is not disabled, two specific |
| options exist. The Set Screen Save Blank operation causes the display to |
| go blank when the timer expires. When the firmware receives the |
| command code, the Screen Save mode is canceled and the |
| timer is established. Screen Save Blank removes power from the Retail |
| VFD and does not refresh the display in the same manner as the Set |
| Low Power On command. At power up, the timer is established at five |
| minutes and Screen Save Blank is established as a default. The five |
| minute timer is not reset by any invalid or incorrect command. |
| Set Screen Save Walk |
Format: | 1B 0A |
Description: | This command causes the visible display to walk right to left when the |
| Screen Save timer expires (five minutes). The characters on the display |
| will appear to walk across the corresponding display row from right to |
| left. The four lines in the 4x20 Display will walk in parallel completely |
| off the left side of the display and then the four lines will appear to |
| come back from the right. If the display is space filled, then no effect is |
| perceived even though the walking is taking place. The Screen Save |
| Blank mode is the default mode after power up. |
| Turn On Screen Save |
Format: | 1B 0B |
Description: | This command causes the one of the screen save functions (Set Screen |
| Save Blank or Set Screen Save Walk) to activate immediately rather |
| than waiting for the screen save timer to expire. If the Disable Screen |
| Save Option command is in effect when this command is issued, it is |
| canceled and the screen saver is enabled and activated immediately. |
