2.6.1
Echoes
If you see two characters on your screen for each character you type, then your computer
and the PK-88 are echoing your typed characters.
cmd:RREESSEETT
o
Type:
ECHO OFF
to stop the PK-88's echoes.
If you use the PK-88 later with a different terminal program, you may see nothing dis-
played when you type. In that case, set
ECHO ON
.
2.6.2
Line Feeds and Carriage Returns
If lines displayed appear to be double spaced, your computer is adding an extra line feed
<LF> when it displays a carriage return <CR>.
o
Set
ALFDISP OFF
to stop the PK-88 from adding an <LF>.
If you change terminal equipment you may have to set
ALFDISP ON
to restore the PK-88's
automatic line feeds.
2.6.3
Screen Width
If ALFDISP is ON, the PK-88 sends an extra <CR>, or <CR><LF> to your terminal when
80 characters have been displayed on a line. The screen width default value is 80, the
width of most CRT displays.
If your computer does not automatically break long lines:
o
Set
ACRDISP
(the screen width) to the width of your display.
o
For a computer using a TV set for a display, set
ACRDISP
to
40
.
If your computer does automatically break long lines:
o
Set
ACRDISP
to
0
to disable this feature. Otherwise, you will get two<CR>s when
the line wraps around.
2.6.4
Display Speeds
A few computers or terminal programs may lose the first characters of a line when several
lines are displayed in rapid succession.
o
Set NUCR ON (delay after <CR>), or NULF ON (delay after <LF>) to give the com-
puter more time between lines.
The delay is adjusted by NULLS, which sets the number of character times for the delay.
