The Digitizer Preferences screen activates the digitizer calib ration screen. This is the same
screen that displays when you start your SPT 1700 terminal for the first time. A c omplete
description of how to use the digitizer calibration screen can be found in Calibrating the
Screen on page 1-17.
Formats Preferences
Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the display format of the country, dates, times
and numbers on your SPT 1700 terminal.

Country Default

The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number conventions based on
geographic regions where you might use your SPT 1700 terminal. For example, in the
United Kingdom, time often is expressed based on a 24-hour clock. In the United S tates it
is based on a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM suffix.
All your SPT 1700 terminal applications use the Country default settings. You can, however,
customize your own preferences as described in Time, Date, Week Start and Numb ers
Formats on page 14-10.
