11 USING CODES
COMMUNICATION CODES
TTYs communicate with each other using a kind of “language” which is called a “communication protocol” or “code.” The Superprint Pro80 LVD uses three different communication codes: Turbo Code®, Baudot and ASCII (optional).
The Superprint Pro80 LVD automatically decides which code to use while communicating with other TTYs. It can tell what codes the other TTY uses and selects the most appropriate code.
For various reasons, you can set the Superprint Pro80 LVD to use only the code that you tell it to. It will return to the default setting when you turn it off.
TURBO CODE
About Turbo Code
When your Superprint Pro80 LVD connects to another TTY that uses Turbo Code, your conversation occurs as fast as you type. This means that your conversation is sent using “real time” transmission and reception without annoying delays. Plus, Turbo Code allows you to interrupt the other person.
S.O NICE TO HERE FROM YOU
The Turbo Code Dot
You can tell when the TTY has connected using Turbo Code because a small dot, like a period, is displayed on the left side of the display.
If you wish to turn off Turbo Code, see “Turbo Code” on page 52.
